Report on the Status of Black Women and Girls
The Law and Policy Group, Inc.'s Report on the Status of Black Women and Girls(R) is the first ongoing national Report on the state of Black females in America. It is a data-based summary that responds to a long awaited need to present the Black female as a whole person with achievements and challenges.
This Report enables individuals as well as agencies, schools, organizations, and foundations to better understand the complex world of Black women and girls.
Data is provided in the areas of Health, Education, Religious Beliefs, Employment/Income, Family Status, Political Participation, and Criminal Justice. In 1619, two African women were among the twenty introduced into the Jamestown Colony. That number has grown to nearly 20 million today.
"The empowerment of Black women...constitutes the empowerment of our entire community."
-Professor Kimberli Crenshaw
"This Report confirms that Black women are more than symptoms and pathology."
-Monica Sweeney, M.D.
"This timely Report will inform our efforts to support mothers, grandmothers, and mothers-to-be to defy the odds and bring our children successfully to adulthood."
-Rhonda Carloss-Smith, Black Child Development-NYC
