After four years of relentless attacks on people seeking refuge, the Center for Gender & Refugee Studies (CGRS) is ready to work with the Biden administration 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.
CGRS, the Instituto para las Mujeres en la Migración, and Haitian Bridge Alliance have released a new report shining a light on the anti-Black racism and gender-based discrimination facing Haitian women seeking refuge in Mexico and the Americas.
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.
