Anti-Child Trafficking Advocacy Webinar Pt. 2
September 30 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
Carolina Bazan of Rights 4 Girls will lead a presentation on the criminalization of young survivors. Although girls in the United States experience high rates of sexual abuse and trafficking, they are often criminalized rather than protected. This webinar will examine the abuse-to-prison pipeline, challenge common misconceptions about girls involved in the legal system, and explore how race and systemic factors—including adultification bias—contribute to the criminalization of girls in the youth justice system. Participants will learn about key patterns of criminalization and review local, state, and federal reforms designed to interrupt this pipeline and center survivor protection. We hope you’ll join us for this important and informative training!
