Equity in Schools & Universities

Every student deserves to learn in an environment that’s safe and free from discrimination. From gender stereotyping in the classroom, to epidemic levels of sexual assault on college campuses, ERA fights alongside students, providing free legal help to protect their civil rights and access to education. We have students’ backs, and we have for nearly 50 years.

Know Your Rights

If you’re being discriminated against or mistreated at school because of your gender identity or sexual orientation — or if you’ve been sexually assaulted or harassed at school — knowing your rights could help protect you. Whether you choose to report, file a complaint, send a letter, sue your school, or just want to consider your options, start by learning what your rights are.

Take action to support gender equity in schools

Initiatives

One in 5 women, 1 in 20 men, and 1 in 4 nonbinary or GNC students is sexually assaulted during college. This is unacceptable. ERA fights for a world where all students can go to school without the threat of sexual violence. As part of our Initiative to End Sexual Violence in Education, we train and support volunteer attorneys to provide free legal aid to student survivors. Known as ENOUGH Advocates, these attorneys make up the nation's first pro bono network dedicated to providing free legal help to college survivors of sexual violence.

If you are a student who has been sexually assaulted or harassed, get in touch with an ENOUGH Advocate: equalrights.org/enough
