Falls Church, United States Tahirih Justice Center Full time

The Alliance for Immigrant Survivors (AIS) is a national network of advocates and allies dedicated to defending and advocating for policies that ensure immigrant survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, trafficking, and other gender-based abuses have access to life-saving protections that all survivors of violence deserve. The organizations that co-chair AIS are ASISTA, Esperanza United, the Asian Pacific Institute on Gender Based Violence and the Tahirih Justice Center. AIS works to ensure that the needs of immigrant survivors are addressed in policy initiatives and efforts to end sexual and domestic violence and the movement for immigrants' rights and immigration reform. AIS envisions a future where everyone, regardless of gender or immigration status, can live in safety and thrive.

To achieve these goals, the co-chair organizations of AIS coordinate a network of advocates and allies who address gender-based violence to take action on policies that impact immigrant survivors; harness the collective skills and energy of a growing number of advocates to center and protect immigrant survivors; analyze the impact of immigration-related policies on survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, trafficking, and other gender-based abuses; provide tools and resources to stakeholders about the effects of immigration policy on survivors' abilities to access necessary protections and services; and leverage communications strategies to inform and engage stakeholders while positively influencing the public narrative around immigrant survivors.

This position will be located in the greater Washington DC area, bound to a two-year funding source.
