On November 19, 2015, from 2 to 3:30 p.m. ET, Defending Childhood, in partnership with OJJDP and Futures Without Violence, will present "Ending the Sexual Abuse to Prison Pipeline: A Public Health Approach." A new report, "The Sexual Abuse to Prison Pipeline: The Girls' Story," describes the role that sexual abuse plays in many girls, especially girls of color, entering the juvenile justice system. During this webinar, the co-authors of the report will discuss this pipeline and highlight federal policy efforts and public health practices for improving responses to system-involved girls with a history of sexual abuse.
