The Equity Project, a partnership of Legal Services for Children, the National Center for Lesbian Rights and the National Juvenile Defender Center is thrilled to launch its new website and Training Curriculum, Toward Equity: A Training Curriculum for Understanding Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity, and Gender Expression, and Developing Competency to Serve Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Youth in the Juvenile Justice System [“Toward Equity”]. This curriculum is a great new training resource for defenders that provides comprehensive, interactive lessons designed to increase competence about sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression (SOGIE), while providing practitioners with increased knowledge, tools, and resources for working with lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) youth in the juvenile justice system.
The Equity Project envisions a fair and rehabilitative juvenile justice system that treats every young person with dignity, respect, and fairness, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression. For questions about the Equity Project, please
