Abstract
The Purpose of This Guidance is to:
examine how gender bias can undermine LEAs’ response to sexual assault and domestic
violence; and
provide a set of basic principles that—if integrated into LEAs’ policies, trainings and
practices—will help ensure that agencies’ efforts to keep victims safe and hold offenders
accountable are not undermined, either intentionally or unintentionally, by gender bias.
