Gender-based claims are complicated and time intensive. The stakes are always high. If forced to return to their native countries, our clients face certain violence, and in many cases, death. Yet, Tahirih continues to maintain a 99% success rate in the cases we litigate.
This success takes resources. We have averaged what it costs Tahirih to provide justice to just one woman or girl: $5,000. Five thousand dollars to protect a woman or girl’s life!
By joining our LifeSaver Family, you can have a direct impact on the life of a woman or girl. Your $5,000 contribution can be made individually or as part of a group. You can also give through multiple installments.
