What We Do

We educate policymakers on survivor-centered solutions. Effective laws and policies not only improve individual outcomes but also establish systemic protections that uplift the lives of thousands of girls and young women, safeguarding our communities and generations to come.

R4G believes that collaboration is key to building a world where all girls can be safe and free. To that end, we build alliances across the country with traditional and non-traditional allies to elevate the voices and experiences of young women and girls, especially survivors, to help build a movement for girls’ rights.

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 and survivors.

R4G produces vital research, including reports, briefs, and fact sheets that shed light on some of the most pressing issues impacting girls and young women across the country. Our publications uplift the distinct, and often untold, experiences of vulnerable young women, girls and survivors of sexual violence while offering key policy recommendations to meet survivors' specific needs.

Across the nation, our public awareness campaigns are shifting the culture, changing laws and policies, and altering the attitudes that contribute to ending sex trafficking and gender-based violence. Our award-winning campaigns have not only garnered recognition but have also played a key role in transforming the language around these issues, helping to redefine how we talk about and address these critical matters.
