The Tahirih Justice Center works to protect immigrant women and girls seeking justice in the United States from gender-based violence. Tahirih's innovative and comprehensive approach leverages pro bono resources to provide a combination of legal services, advocacy, and public education programs. Through this coordinated effort, Tahirih seeks to ensure the protection and safety of its clients, as well as their long-term well-being by raising their voices in the public policy arena, informing the public of the unique challenges immigrant survivors of violence face, and, ultimately, creating lasting legal and social change.

Since Tahrih's launch in 2002, it has grown a network of professional attorneys who donate their time and expertise to provide representation in immigration law to women and girls fleeing violence. Tahirih's Pro Bono Attorney Network includes over 1,250 attorneys nationwide, from nearly 200 law firms.
