The three new members began their service Feb. 11 in Washington, D.C., where they join 15 current board members who shepherd Tahirih’s legacy of protecting immigrant women and girls in the United States from violence.

Our growing Pro Bono Network of attorneys, doctors, and other professionals donated nearly $13 million in services in 2013, setting a historic record of generosity at Tahirih and turning every $1 donated into $5 of lifesaving impact.

Our plan to serve twice as many women and girls is gaining momentum.

Our proposal to dramatically increase the number of women and girls we serve has advanced to the final round of a prestigious social impact competition.

Our 2013 Impact Report is now available.

Through expansion, Tahirih aims to increase the number of women and girls it directly serves in courts by 250 percent.

Ms. Pyati is a dedicated advocate for immigrant women and girls with more than a decade of experience in immigration law practice, women’s rights, and public policy advocacy.
