Summit Focus
The focus of the Girls Identity Summit is based on the acknowledgment that racism, sexism, classism, homophobia, and other oppressive forces persist at institutional and individual levels of society and that they disproportionately affect girls and women, especially women of color and women living in poverty. Girls today are exposed to sexual violence and abuse, domestic violence and abuse, relationship violence, unplanned pregnancy, drug use and abuse, prostitution, sex trafficking, direct and indirect gang involvement, involvement with the criminal justice system, influential media exposure, unrealistic and unhealthy body expectations, inhibiting gender expectations and poverty. The goal of working with girls at the critical ages of adolescence is to help them develop healthy self-esteem, leadership skills, and positive personal development so they are equipped with the tools to contend with the challenges they face.
