Listen to our Baltimore director’s short, but powerful speech.

Layli is being recognized not only for her selfless dedication to her three small children, but also for her dedication to protecting immigrant women and girls fleeing violence through her leadership of Tahirih Justice Center.

A better world is possible for women and girls, but it will only come to fruition with an army of dedicated individuals.

Listen to Layli Miller-Muro’s speech at the 18th Annual Tahirih Gala, “Saving Lives, Celebrating Courage.”

The Harvard Law and International Development Society and the Harvard Women’s Law Association organized the exhibit in honor of International Women’s Day.

Born out of wedlock and orphaned by her mother in Mexico City, Gloria grew up without knowing what it felt like to be loved. At age 14, she was homeless and was forced to drop out of school to support herself. She was vulnerable to predators like her boyfriend. He betrayed her and sold her to one of the most violent gangs in the world, Los Zetas. Women and girls like Gloria need you now. Can you answer a plea for help this holiday season?
