Black Girls Matter: Pushed Out, Overpoliced and Underprotected
Posted by African American Policy Forum on March 23, 2015
Report focuses on challenges facing African American girls
Girls of color face much harsher school discipline than their white peers but are excluded from current efforts to address the school-to-prison pipeline, according to a new report issued by the African American Policy Forum and Columbia Law School’s Center for Intersectionality and Social Policy Studies.
The report, Black Girls Matter: Pushed Out, Overpoliced and Underprotected, is based on a new review of national data and personal interviews with young women in Boston and New York. Read the report here.
