This is the first installment of the Getting to Zero: Shutting Down Girls Pathways' into Incarceration speaker series. Each event will feature local and national experts discussing common paths that lead girls and transgender/ gender-nonconforming (GNC) youth into the juvenile justice system—including arrest while involved in the child welfare system, family conflict or violence, and school discipline. Each speaker series event coincides with meetings of Vera’s multi-agency Task Force on Ending Girls’ Incarceration in New York City.

This panel will discuss the importance of addressing issues that lead to the incarceration of girls, including involvement with the child welfare system.
