Tahirih is embarking on a six-city tour with Pomegranate Tree Group to raise awareness of forced marriage and its impact on individuals in the United States.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution to the complex problem of forced marriage in North America, but there are many ways to better protect victims. Experts underscored this message at a discussion on forced marriage April 1 at American University’s Washington College of Law.

Panel of experts will discuss nature and scope of forced marriage in United States and Canada How does forced marriage impact the freedom and safety of women and girls in […]

Tahirih is featured this week in a four-part Al Jazeera America series on forced marriage in the United States.

Trainings equip participants with practical tips, tools, and strategies to identify and protect victims of these human rights abuses threatening the freedom, safety, and welfare of immigrant women and girls across the country.

Tahirih held a training for frontline service providers on identifying and supporting victims of forced marriage—the first training of its kind in the United States on March 2, 2012.

Forced marriage is an issue that has increasingly come to our attention as Tahirih received calls for help from around the country. There is a regrettable lack of information in the United States about forced marriage, there are no laws designed to protect forced marriage victims, and there is a void in community dialogue and advocacy on the issue.
