Get Help
Are you an immigrant survivor who needs protection from violence or threats to your life or freedom, or do you know someone who might need our help?
We provide free and confidential legal and social services to immigrant survivors who are facing forms of gender-based violence (including female genital mutilation/cutting, intimate partner violence, sexual assault and rape, forced marriage, and human trafficking), or who are denied basic human rights and freedoms because of their gender.
If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, please contact 911. Otherwise, please check below for more information about how to get help at our Atlanta, Greater DC-Baltimore, Houston, and San Francisco Bay Area offices, as we do not accept walk-ins.
