Girls represent a growing share of youth arrests—not because they are becoming more violent, but because trauma responses are being met with handcuffs.

Rights4Girls was honored to participate in a Chicago town hall hosted by Congressman Danny K. Davis, alongside State Senator Mattie Hunter, State Representatives Camille Lilly, LaShawn Ford, and other dedicated survivor leaders and community partners. We discussed the urgent need to address the systems that enable exploitation and fail to protect Black women and girls.

We also highlighted the Epstein Accountability Act, HB 5783 as an important step toward holding s*x buyers accountable and directing buyer fees toward survivor services and support.

Ending the crisis of missing and murdered Black women and girls requires more than awareness. It demands accountability, survivor-centered policies, and a commitment to confronting the conditions that allow trafficking, violence, and inaction to persist.

We must protect survivors, hold exploiters accountable, and ensure that no woman or girl is forgotten.

Gender-based violence is not an isolated issue, it’s a pervasive threat to the safety and dignity of women and girls.
We can’t look away from the pattern. We must confront it.
