== Purpose ==

GALDEF raises funds for "impact litigation" to establish legal precedents for recognition of children's rights to bodily integrity and [[genital autonomy]] regardless of gender, but especially for those not already protected by law (e.g. those assigned male at birth or intersex).

GALDEF raises funds for "impact litigation" to establish legal precedents for recognition of children's rights to [[Physical integrity| bodily integrity]] and [[genital autonomy]] regardless of gender, but especially for those not already protected by law (e.g. those assigned male at birth or [[intersex]]).

GALDEF trains attorneys on the complexities involved in winning such cases and with the hope of building a coalition of attorneys who are prepared to bring viable cases to U.S. courts of law.

GALDEF is compiling resources – both educational and financial – to assist a new generation of attorneys to bring successful cases challenging inadequate [[circumcision]] consent forms, hospitals and doctors who aggressively solicit parents for infant [[circumcision]], forced foreskin retraction, and state Medicaid payments for medically unnecessary [[circumcision]]s.

GALDEF is compiling resources — both educational and financial — to assist a new generation of attorneys to bring successful cases challenging inadequate [[circumcision]] consent forms, hospitals and doctors who aggressively solicit parents for harmful infant [[circumcision]], [[forced foreskin retraction]], and state Medicaid payments for medically unnecessary [[circumcision]]s.

GALDEF seeks individuals for the Board of Directors, Board of Advisors, the Grant Review Committee, and other positions (media/social media, fundraising, graphics/website design, etc). GALDEF will emphasize being an inclusive and welcoming organization to ensure diversity with regard to sex/gender, race, religion and sexual orientation/gender identity within its board, officers and membership.
