Meet Leah, Staff Attorney in Tahirih’s San Francisco Bay Area office.

Tahirih Houston staff went to the border city of McAllen, Texas to help gather data about the rapidly developing practice of separating children from their parents.

Tahirih condemns the government’s new “zero tolerance” policy, which has resulted in the separation of families in record numbers.

Delaware Governor John Carney has signed into law a bill that sets the state’s minimum age of marriage at 18. With this law, Delaware is the first state in the nation to limit marriage to individuals age 18 or older, no exceptions.

The Attorney General is about to decide whether to reverse policy that offers asylum to survivors of gender-based violence. Learn how Tahirih is leading the charge to maintain asylum for survivors.

Meet Hania, a member of the Social Services team in Tahirih’s Houston office. As a child of Mexican immigrants, Hania’s acute awareness of the struggles and successes immigrant families experience was informed by her upbringing. This awareness led to a deeply-rooted empathy for the clients she now advocates for through Tahirih.

Across the country, we’ve seen tremendous growth in the movement to protect girls from the risks and harms of child marriage. Learn more about recent legislative victories in Kentucky and Florida.
