When a survivor arrives at our doorstep, they are already radically transforming our world — one person, one family, and one community at a time. We center survivors and provide a whole-person approach to direct services so that they have comprehensive information and integrated support to uphold their agency and decision-making on their journeys to justice.
We represent immigrant survivors who we believe have a legitimate claim to legal status under U.S. immigration law as survivors of gender-based violence.
We ensure our clients' legal needs are met in family courts, safeguarding children against abuse and helping survivors divorce their abusers.
We engage in appellate advocacy and impact litigation, and support clients in recovering damages from harms they have suffered, such as trafficking.
We provide confidential support and assistance to individuals in the United States who are facing forced marriages in this country or abroad.
We connect our clients to shelter, employment-related training, food pantries, and other services so they can gain greater control over their lives.
We help our clients obtain medical and mental health services, a vital step in the road to recovery from physical and psychological trauma.
Our direct services are client-centered, culturally sensitive, and trauma-informed. Step by step, we help our clients overcome obstacles — like being married to an abuser or lacking authorization to work in the U.S. — that stand in the way of their safety and freedom.
Despite significant growth, we are only able to serve 1 out of every 6 survivors who reaches out to us. We need your help.
