For more than 30 years, PHR’s asylum work has supported those who seek refuge in the United States from the traumatizing violence and persecution they endured in their country of origin.
Today, thousands are held in solitary confinement in U.S. immigration detention centers with devastating physical and psychological effects.
PHR continues to advocate for safer, legal pathways and to establish equitable, efficient, and trauma-informed processes for people seeking asylum in the United States. At the same time, we document the use of solitary confinement, hold systems accountable, and push for reforms that protect health, human dignity, and justice.
