Coalition for Gender Equity in Schools
Description:
The Coalition for Gender Equity in Schools is a partnership of youth, parents, school staff and community-based organizations working to end gender-based violence and sexual harassment in New York City public schools. Project objectives include developing youth leadership and empowering young women and men to recognize sexual assault and advocate for themselves in reporting harassment. In addition to increasing uniform enforcement of existing sexual harassment policies, project leaders will advocate for more comprehensive policies-working together with Title IX to eliminate sexual harassment in school environments. This project meets the criteria of the Local Funding Partnerships special solicitation to under-represented communities of diversity: nominated by the New York Women's Foundation, granted to the Girls for Gender Equity organization, to implement the Coalition for Gender Equity in Schools.
