Tahirih is Awarded the Prestigious Equal Justice Works Fellowship
Tahirih is honored to have been awarded a two-year Equal Justice Works Fellowship. The Fellowship, which will begin in Fall 2007, will allow an attorney to work full-time on the representation of immigrant women seeking U visa relief, which is a visa available to certain victims of crime. In addition to direct legal representation, the fellow will work with government agencies to promote the implementation of the U visa, which, since its passage in Congress over five years ago, has still not had implementing regulations issued.
