Dear John,
International Women's Day is this Sunday, and we at HIAS are honoring refugee women and girls around the world who have braved unparalleled danger and shown remarkable strength every day.
Millions of women and girls have been forced to flee crises and instability in their homelands. But as they leave behind everything they know to find safety, they’re often left without critical access to legal protection, mental health services, recourse against gender-based violence and economic opportunities. That’s why HIAS is on the ground across the globe – in Africa, Latin America and across the U.S. – doing everything we can to make sure refugee women and girls get the assistance they need.
To fuel our vital programs that support women and girls fleeing violence and persecution around the world, we've set a goal to raise $100,000 by International Women's Day on Sunday, March 8. Our critical work for refugees depends entirely on the generosity of committed supporters like you:
Every day, HIAS is working tirelessly in refugee camps, rural areas and cities to provide women with the trauma counseling, legal support, job training and financial assistance they need to build new lives in safety and freedom. Our teams lead programs that help girls boost their self-esteem and their ability to negotiate, communicate and respond to risk in moments of crisis. We also work with community leaders to mobilize people to take a stand against gender-based violence.
Refugee women and girls have the right to rebuild meaningful lives in safety and dignity. That’s why we need to raise $100,000 before midnight Sunday to make sure we can continue fighting for their futures – and we need your help to make this life-changing work possible.
