Tahirih Justice Center is founded by Layli Miller-Muro, following the highly-publicized asylum case Matter of Kasinga. The non-profit is her response to an outpouring of pleas for help from women like Fauziya in desperate need of free legal protection from human rights abuses. Few organizations exist at the time to help.

“Looking back, I see that I had the strength and resolve the whole time. Because of trauma, we tell ourselves we can’t do it. But in reality, we have overcome so much, and we will continue to overcome. I’m going to continue pressing forward to reach my dreams.”
