Gendered violence here in the US, like gendered violence abroad, restricts girls' rights and the realization of their full potential and dignity. As a national organization of human rights lawyers, Rights4Girls addresses the conditions of sexual violence, rape, exploitation, and trafficking here in the United States in the areas of policy, legislation, and law. We advocate for the dignity and personhood of young women and girls-so that every girl may possess the right to be safe and live a life free of violence and exploitation. See more at www.rights4girls.org. The Center on Poverty and Inequality works with policymakers, researchers, practitioners, and advocates to develop effective policies and practices that alleviate poverty and inequality in the United States. The Center's areas of anti-poverty work include national, state, and local policy and program recommendations that help marginalized girls, promote effective workforce and education policies and programs for disconnected youth, and develop policy to combat deep poverty. Its strategies are to partner with Administration agencies and non-profit organizations to host national conferences, produce and widely disseminate in-depth reports, engage in public speaking, and participate in national coalitions and working groups. See more at www.law.georgetown.edu/go/poverty. The Ms. Foundation for Women is the first and largest US women's foundation. Since our founding in 1972, we have supported grassroots organizations across the country to sustain and amplify the vision and voice of women who area leading change in their communities, particularly low-income women, women of color and young women. We focus on three pillars-women's health, economic justice and safety-in order to fulfill our mission: to build women's collective power to realize a nation of justice for all.
