Juvenile Law Center is Joining Forces with Teen Vogue
In 2017, Teen Vogue introduced a News + Politics vertical to the magazine’s online counterpart. With editor Allison Maloney at its forefront, it’s the most well-read section on the site.
Last October, Maloney ran a “Kids Incarcerated” series, which ran for a full month. Of the 26 articles about youth behind bars, one was penned by Riya Saha Shah, an attorney for the JLC.
Shah is thrilled Teen Vogue has “upped its game” to shape our country’s next advocates and leaders, she said, and acknowledges that though it’s an “unexpected media outlet,” its series that delve into issues that affect youth and their families have been powerful and comprehensive.
Shah’s op-ed, titled “How Sex Offender Registries Impact Youth,” presents misconceptions associated with sex offender registration, and how these registrations can destroy a young person’s life.
