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.
The Biden administration is accepting comments from the public on its proposed asylum ban. This repackaged Trump-era policy would block most people from seeking asylum at the border, placing refugee families, children, and adults in harm’s way.
We need all hands on deck to flood the federal register with public comments opposing the ban! Make your voice heard and submit your comment ahead of the deadline on March 27.
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.
