HIAS’ advocacy work in the United States and abroad is guided by over a century of expertise in assisting forcibly displaced people. We advocate for the rights of refugees, asylum seekers, and other forcibly displaced people, regardless of their national, ethnic, or religious backgrounds. HIAS works to protect and advance fair and humane refugee and asylum policies. In the U.S., this work largely focuses on refugee resettlement and asylum; throughout the world, HIAS advocates for policies that serve displaced people, including through protection and safety, economic integration, ending gender-based violence, and responding to emergencies. Through this work, HIAS seeks to create a world in which all forcibly displaced people can rebuild their lives and find safety, welcome, and opportunity.
