dbo:abstract
  • Girls for Gender Equity (GGE) is a Brooklyn-based, inter-generational non-profit organization, through a black feminist lens, dedicated to strengthening local communities by creating opportunities for young women and girls to live self-determined lives. To achieve this goal, GGE practices a bio-psycho-social-cultural approach to tackling the many obstacles young women and girls face such as sexism, racial inequality, homophobia, transphobia, and sexual harassment. In the year 2000, GGE was founded by Joanne N. Smith, in response to a coalition of 80 low-income Central Brooklyn residents of color petitioning the Open Society Institute (OSI) to help in the fight to change the negative perceptions society has of women and girls. Inspired by their cause, Smith used the OSI fellowship to launch Girls for Gender Equity. Through educational, physical, and social programs, GGE aims to provide young women and girls with the tools to acknowledge their strengths, develop their skills, and ultimately live self-sufficient lives.
