The Chicago Taskforce on Violence Against Girls & Young Women was created to bring the voices of Chicago girls and young women into the public policy debate about violence in their lives.
The Taskforce serves as a vehicle for addressing the following two questions:
1. How will we galvanize attention to the devastating violence plaguing the lives of girls and young women?
2. How will we marshal the public/political will to end the violence?
The Chicago Taskforce brings the voices of young women into the dialogue of how to end the violence they experience in their lives. The Taskforce will develop and disseminate new approaches, build communications infrastructure, and set policy priorities around girls' safety and well-being.
The Taskforce is coordinated by two long time advocates, writers and organizers: Melissa Spatz and Mariame Kaba.
