We educate policymakers and the public on the realities of gender-based violence and advocate for survivor-centered policies and solutions that provide victims of sexual abuse, sex trafficking, family violence and/or sexual exploitation, with safety, justice, and the support needed to heal from complex trauma.

R4G brings a uniquely intersectional and anti-violence lens to youth justice advocacy. We work to disrupt the Abuse to Prison Pipeline that punishes survivors for their own victimization and advance policies that promote alternatives to detention for girls and end harmful and degrading conditions of confinement for incarcerated children.

We train judges, attorneys, child welfare and juvenile justice professionals, educators, and communities on the latest in federal, state and tribal laws, alternatives to detention, implicit bias, and the importance of centering the needs of vulnerable youth.

Our intersectional research and groundbreaking reports uplift the distinct, and often untold, experiences of marginalized girls and survivors while offering key policy recommendations to meet girls' specific needs.

Across the country, our award winning No Such Thing campaign is helping to end the very notion of “child prostitute” in both language and law, shifting the culture and our understanding around child sex trafficking.
