Girls Inc. of Santa Fe is participating as part of a national effort to bring awareness to bullying and harassment while addressing how girls can be the agents of change.
In schools, on the streets, in relationships, and online, girls are being humiliated, threatened, and victimized. In addition to sexual harassment, many girls experience discrimination based on their race, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, and more.
“Bullying and harassment negatively affect everyone involved – the victim, the harasser, and the bystanders – as well as the learning environment. The good news is that we have the power and ability to make our communities better places to live. At Girls Inc., we are energized and committed to the work necessary to advance girls’ rights and opportunities and one of our top advocacy priorities is ending bullying and harassment.” – Madonna Hernandez, Director of Programs at Girls Inc. of Santa Fe
At Girls Inc., we believe that all youth have the right to environments that are safe and conducive to learning so that they may thrive and develop into leaders in our community.
