Rishi & Michelle Varma

Please join the Tahirih Justice Center at our 7^th Annual Houston Gala! This year, we are proud to honor change-makers and culture shifters: those dedicated to re-defining the rules, breaking down barriers, and shining light where it’s needed most. Tahirih’s work is only made possible by these voices and their fearless effort to transform how our society thinks and responds to violence against women, gender equality, and an equal playing field for all.

Check back soon for honoree updates and ticket sales. In the meantime, please see below for event details, sponsorship opportunities, and ticket prices. For more information or to sponsor the event, please contact Christine Spencer at christine@tahirih.org.
