In April 2017, the Tahirih Justice Center and a coalition of national organizations sent a survey to the field to learn more about how new immigration policies such as the Executive Orders on immigration enforcement, are impacting survivors of violence. This Mother Jones article discusses the eye-opening findings of that survey. Tahirih’s Chief of Policy and Programs, Archi Pyati, spoke with Mother Jones about the survey results.
The fear [among immigrant survivors] is still rampant,” said Pyati.
“So long as the federal government continues down this road there are going to be immigrant women who are going to be hurt.”
