Survivors' Project
Holistic Legal Services for Survivors of Violence
Representation & Advocacy
MIA provides free immigration and civil legal services to victims of violent crime, with a focus on domestic violence and sexual assault. MIA has provided holistic legal representation to immigrant survivors since 2016.
Who We Fight For
Survivors’ Project clients include immigrants abused by U.S. citizen family members, asylum seekers fleeing gender-based persecution in their home countries, and people targeted for violent crime in the U.S. due to their vulnerability. MIA represents clients seeking orders of protection, divorce, child support, and other essential civil legal services.
The Path to Freedom & Justice
Immigration law provides pathways to lawful status for immigrants who have been victims of certain violent crimes in the U.S., such as domestic violence, rape, felony assault, and human trafficking. MIA assists our clients in seeking this relief so they can safely heal from their trauma in the U.S. without fear of deportation.
