Our Work
We work to create a world where everyone can thrive no matter their gender, gender identity or expression, or sexual orientation. Central to this work is dismantling the legal, political, and structural barriers to gender equity. Reset the page here.
How We Make Change
What We Fight For
Where Barriers Occur
In School
Minnesotans have a constitutional right to education and equal protection under the law. Additionally, the Minnesota Human Rights Act prohibits discrimination in education. That means every student has a right to be treated fairly, and to learn in a safe and supportive environment, regardless of gender, gender expression or identity, or sexual orientation. Gender Justice is committed to ensuring that schools understand and take seriously their responsibility to treat the students in their care with respect, dignity and compassion.
