Guidelines for Securing Girls of Color

Although sheltering-in-place is supposed to keep us safer, many of our girls* of color are anything but safe. In the last five weeks, girls in our programs have reported increases in violence at home, in the street and online. Reports of revenge porn online, physical beatings, attempted rapes and verbal abuse have been all too common.
