Plus: Join us tomorrow for the 21st Annual Update Gala Reception
NEW RESEARCH
LBQ girls and women of color overrepresented in child welfare and criminalization systems
Lesbian, bisexual, and queer (LBQ) girls, particularly girls of color, are overrepresented in foster care and the carceral system. The proportion of Black and American Indian LBQ girls in foster care is four times higher than in the general population. In addition, one-third of incarcerated women are LBQ, which is 10 times the proportion of women who identify as LBQ in the U.S. population.
Disproportional involvement in foster care among LBQ girls
We hope you can join us tonight, April 8, for an in-person celebration of the Williams Institute's work. Our 21st Annual Update Gala Reception and Founders Dinner will take place outdoors at UCLA School of Law and UCLA Sculpture Garden.
Thank you to everyone who came to our 21st Annual Update conference this week. We were honored to host three insightful discussions on LGBTQI+ migrants, LGBTQ+ indigenous people, and the intersection of current campaigns to limit reproductive rights, LGBTQ rights, and Critical Race Theory. If you weren't able to attend, you can watch the recordings on our website or below.
