Tahirih is proud of our instrumental role in making an IMBRA a reality, but much work remains to translate the law into meaningful and effective protections for foreign brides.

By directing the U.S. government to create a coordinated, comprehensive, and concerted strategy to reduce violence, I-VAWA would have a powerful impact on the suffering of millions of women worldwide who face horrific abuses.

We cannot allow the United States to continue to be one of only seven countries in the world that has not ratified the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of Violence Against Women.

Legislation under consideration in the Maryland Legislature would help Tahirih clients like Maria* rebuild their lives. And we need your help to make sure it passes.

The Office of Refugee Resettlement in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has an urgent humanitarian mandate to protect refugees, including vulnerable survivors of trafficking, torture, persecution, and violence. But the very funds ORR needs to meet its promise to survivors are now in jeopardy.

House and Senate versions of VAWA are almost entirely the same, and only a few critical differences remain to be worked through. Tell Congress that we know that by working together in good faith and with a victim-centered approach, these differences can be resolved.

Congress has only a few legislative days left to act on the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). We need to tell our legislators to do their job. We need you to act in these last few days.

The reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) is stalled in Congress, and we need your help to push VAWA over the finish line!

This misguided bill fails to include protections for ALL victims of violence and reverses protections for courageous immigrant women and girls that have been in place since VAWA’s original passage in 1994.
