Public Justice represents students when their schools fail to respond adequately to the gender-based violence they’ve experienced. We believe litigation is a critical part of the solution to this problem. Public Justice addresses gender violence in schools across the board—from primary and secondary schools to colleges and universities. We also address a wide range of gender violence in schools, including sexual assault, sexual harassment, dating violence, harassment of LGBT students, and hazing. To stay up to date on our work on these and other issues, click here to sign up for our monthly newsletter and other updates from the Public Justice team.
Students who are sexually assaulted have legal rights. This site provides some basic information on students’ rights and schools’ obligations under Title IX.
