Are you an immigrant who needs protection from violence or threats to your life or freedom, or do you know someone who might need our help?

We provide free and confidential legal and social services to immigrants who are or have experienced violence because of their gender (including female genital mutilation/cutting, domestic violence, sexual assault and rape, forced marriage, and human trafficking), or who are denied basic human rights and freedoms because of their gender.

If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, please contact 911.

Tahirih now has one central call line where survivors can reach us across the country. Call us at 1 (866) 575-0071 during our business hours 9:00 am – 5:00 pm local time, Monday to Friday.
