Bridge the Gap: Gender Rights / Human Rights, the 2007 GenderYOUTH Leadership Summit. The Summit is an action-oriented, three-day educational gathering of youth and students working to get gender recognized as a fundamental human right.

The Summit will feature workshops and events such as the Gender Theory Institute, the 12th Annual National Gender Lobby Day, and screenings of exciting new documentaries. Join other academics and activists in discussions about gender stereotypes, gender and race in hip-hop, the emerging US human rights movements, and the love-hate relationship between feminism and queer theory.

Also, this Summit is an opportunity for youth to receive advanced training to start a GenderYOUTH chapter or affiliate an existing campus or community organization with the GenderYOUTH Network to end gender-based violence and discrimination.
