All New Yorkers can seek and receive care without fear of discrimination based on their immigration status, gender, age, income, or sexual orientation.
YOU have the right to safely access health and mental health care services, the right to be treated with dignity, the right to a legal identity, to housing and employment, and the right to frame and voice your own story.
THIS is your space; a space where confidentiality is the rule, and your rights and your safety are the priority. Welcome!
About Us
This is an initiative funded by Mother Cabrini Health Foundation, and started by a team of women activists with lived experiences of forced migration living in New York City; social work graduate students at Fordham University; and two migration and mental health scholars working to improve access to and utilization of health and mental health care for women asylum seekers in New York City.
We partner with several grassroots organizations providing services and advocating for the rights of asylum seekers.
Mission

Vision
To become a central hub of coordinated practice, policy, advocacy, education, training resources, and supportive programming that serves to empower and connect migrant communities in NYC and beyond to claim rights and access effective health and mental healthcare. Using a social determinants of health framework and a human rights paradigm, Her Migrant Hub will address gender and racial injustice, promote the rights of women migrants, and improve migration practices and policies at local and global levels.
