International Women's Day: Tatiana's Story
In Russia, Tatiana was a celebrated and respected judge. When she exposed government corruption in 2009, she was severely beaten and threatened with death. Tatiana fled to the U.S. with her then husband and thirteen-year-old son, Alexey.
In honor of International Women’s Day, consider donating to Immigration Equality. Your donation will directly help LGBTQ and HIV-positive immigrants like Tatiana find safety.
After living in the U.S. for some time, Tatiana realized that she had been suppressing her sexual orientation. When she came out to her husband as a lesbian, he beat her and their son and threatened to take the family back to Russia. Again, mother and son fled for their lives and were able to secure asylum with the help of Immigration Equality. Now, Tatiana and her son are safe, and she is happily partnered.
This International Women's Day, a donation to Immigration Equality will help other LGBTQ people live authentically. Friend, will you stand with Tatiana and make a donation in $38 in honor of International Women's Day?
