As daily activities have ground to a halt in the United States to slow the spread of COVID-19, Americans have been pushed into an unprecedented state of isolation, unemployment, and stress. For immigrant survivors of gender-based violence, many of whom are living with the effects of trauma or coping with ongoing abuse, this is an especially difficult time.

Tahirih and a coalition of national organizations issued this statement after releasing the eye-opening results of a survey of advocates working with immigrant survivors of violence.

Georgia Governor Brian Kemp signed into law a bill ending child marriage in Georgia!

Tahirih Chief of Policy Archi Pyati spoke with NBC News about the cruelty of the administration’s proposed fee on asylum seekers.

Tahirih is deeply concerned about the likelihood of new regulations pursuant to the presidential proclamation on April 29, which will make it nearly impossible for asylum seekers to access the rights to which they are entitled under international and domestic law.

Tahirih is disappointed that for the fourth year in a row, Maryland’s legislature ended its session without passing legislation to fix the state’s child marriage problem.

The San Francisco Chronicle detailed recent changes to immigration policy that would allow appellate judges to declare their rulings as precedent, quoting Tahirih Chief of Programs Rena Cutlip-Mason.
