Girls for Gender Equity (GGE) is a Brooklyn-based nonprofit in the civic and social sector that centers Black girls and nonbinary and gender-expansive young people of color. It uses an intergenerational approach grounded in Black feminist thought to inform policy advocacy, direct services, and culture change aimed at gender and racial justice. The organization views violence against women and girls of color as a consequence of persistent racial and gender discrimination and positions its work as a peace-building and human rights priority to improve opportunities and safety for vulnerable communities.

GGE operates through signature programs—Sisters in Strength, the Young Women's Advisory Council (YWAC), and JustUs—to mobilize youth aged 14-24 to participate actively in civic and social life and to contribute to community and wider-world discourse. Through intergenerational organizing for just policies, staff collaborate with young people and communities to pursue policy changes that affect their daily lives. Based in Brooklyn, New York, the organization is a mid-sized nonprofit focused on coalition-building and youth development within the civic and social sector.
