More than 51 YOUTH WERE KILLED because of their
gender identity or gender expression.
Most were young PEOPLE OF COLOR, from LOW-INCOME
communities, and LGBT.
More than half of their MURDERS REMAIN UNSOLVED.
Gender is a Human Rights issue.
Bridge the Gap: Gender Rights / Human Rights, the
2007 GenderYOUTH Leadership Summit, is an action-oriented, three-day
educational gathering of youth and students working to get gender
recognized as a fundamental human right.
Bridge the Gap will feature workshops and events such as the
Gender Theory Institute, the 12th Annual National Gender Lobby Day, and
screenings of exciting new documentaries. Join other academics and
activists in discussions about gender stereotypes, gender and race , the
emerging US human rights movements, and the love-hate relationship
between feminism and queer theory.
Register for the 2007 GenderYOUTH Leadership Summit and connect
with other youth to share ideas, pool resources, and take action!
