Help Defend Asylum
CGRS relies on the generous support of people like you to sustain our advocacy defending the human rights of refugees. Make a gift today!
Through coordinated litigation, advocacy, and training the Center for Gender & Refugee Studies (CGRS) is working to rebuild our asylum system and expand the United States’ promise of protection for those escaping persecution.
The Center for Gender & Refugee Studies defends the human rights of courageous refugees seeking asylum in the United States. With strategic focus and unparalleled legal expertise, CGRS champions the most challenging cases, fights for due process, and promotes policies that deliver safety and justice for refugees.
CGRS provides free expert consultation, litigation resources, and training to attorneys and advocates working with asylum seekers.
Congress is negotiating a funding deal that could eviscerate asylum protections in the United States. Anti-immigrant Senators are pushing extremist proposals that would revive deadly mass expulsions, punish and detain people seeking safety, and result in the deportations of refugees to countries where they face persecution and torture.
We need advocates and allies to speak up now! Please take a few minutes today to call your Senators and urge them NOT to trade away the right to seek asylum.
Your support for CGRS goes to work every day, protecting the human rights of women, children, and LGBTQ+ people seeking refuge in the United States.
