I am a mother. A survivor. An advocate. I fight to shine a light on the most basic of human rights – to live in safety and with dignity.

Houston Strong has meaning well beyond Harvey.

There wasn’t a dry eye in the house as Norma, a survivor of rape and kidnapping, shared her harrowing story of abuse at Tahirih’s 6th Annual Houston Gala.

At the 6th Annual Houston Gala, the Tahirih Justice Center’s CEO and Founder, Layli Miller-Muro, emphasized that ending violence against women is a marathon, not a sprint.

Tahirih issued this statement after filing an amicus brief to the U.S. Supreme Court against the travel ban Executive Order.

The immigrant women and children protected by Tahirih Houston are in desperate need of help because of Hurricane Harvey. Please donate today.

Tahirih has released a groundbreaking report that provides state lawmakers with the information they need to pass laws that more effectively protect children from the harms of child marriage.
