Give an example of gender-specific programming for girls

What will be an ideal response?


• The project of the Annie Casey Foundation on detention reform describes gender-responsive practice in the following ways:
o Systemic inequities that result in the inappropriate confinement of girls
o Girls' needs and pathways into detention that are different from those of boys
• Reform of systemic inequities and development of gender-responsive detention and disposition alternatives should minimize girls' returns to detention, prevent detention "dumping," and reduce detentions awaiting placement.
