Abstract:
Sexual and gender minority (SGM) girls face unique challenges in school, child welfare, and legal settings due to identity-linked discrimination, stigma, and marginalization. Inequities in school harassment, school discipline, and family support are especially harmful, given they increase the risk of homelessness and legal contact. Black and Latinx SGM girls are particularly impacted given the compounding inequities they face in today's society. Despite these tremendous inequities, providers in different settings can make positive impacts for systems-involved SGM girls by creating a safe and affirming environment, building on well-established protective factors, and increasing agency.
