The Center at SXSW-EDU 2024

Title IX was enacted over 50 years ago, prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sex in education. Recently, the Biden administration proposed changes to the Title IX regulations, which could strengthen protections against sex discrimination in education. Yet, girls still learn in environments that are not safe or affirming, and student survivors are too often being punished by their schools.

At SXSW 2024, Rebecca Epstein, Executive Director of the Center on Gender Justice & Opportunity, joined a powerhouse panel of leading thinkers on this topic: Bayliss Fiddiman, National Women’s Law Center; Emma Grasso Levine, Know Your IX; and Shiwali Patel, National Women’s Law Center to reflect on decades of progress under Title IX and discuss what more should be done to support girls.
