Advocacy, Model Programs
& Training

Reforming systems and addressing the root causes for why girls* get pushed out of opportunity.

The Justice for Girls Coalition of Washington State seeks to improve the status of girls* in WA state, address the underlying conditions that perpetuate the adversity they face and pave pathways for a better future.

Why Girls?

  • 31% of probation-involved girls have had a history of out-of-home placement

  • 55% of girls on probation in Washington State have a prevalence of truancy

  • 20% of Washington State girls live in poverty

How Change Happens

Coordinated programs, policies and practices are necessary to support girls on a path toward a purposeful future. Change requires data-driven, collective work by community stakeholders and legislators to identify policy, practice and program changes. These changes

move systems towards gender/race-responsive care and scale up high quality services that

prevent cycles of violence, poverty and recidivism.
