Asylum: What Makes a Case Strong or Weak?
Established in 2017, the Louise Trauma Center supports immigrant women who have experienced gender-based violence, including female genital mutilation (FGM), rape, domestic violence, and forced marriage. We provide resources, such as training materials that were given to asylum officers, country condition reports, and recommendations on how to strengthen your asylum case. We are a nonprofit organization.
At the heart of our work is a dedicated team of advocates and professionals who bring their personal stories, cultural insight, and technical knowledge to support those seeking protection. Meet the individuals behind the Louise Trauma Center who make this mission possible. For more information, please contact us at louise.trauma.ltc@gmail.com.
