School Violence
Studies have
shown that as many as 83 percent of girls and 79 percent of boys
are subjected to sexual harassment at some time in their school
careers, and millions of students are also the victims of school
violence and bullying. School violence, including sexual
harassment and/or abuse, interferes with a child's ability to
learn and can have lasting effects on their emotional and social
development.
There are Federal laws, including Title IX and Section 1983, New
York State and New York City laws that require schools to
respond to known threats against students, take prompt and
energetic action to stop assaults when they occur, investigate
and take appropriate measures for all complaints of sexual
harassment. The laws also require schools to implement training
programs and policies to prevent sexual harassment and abuse and
prohibit retaliation..

attorney and licensed master social worker with 20 years of
experience litigating issues of victims' rights, sexual
harassment and abuse. She has obtained recoveries for students
