Mount Sinai Human Rights Program
Information Status
The Mount Sinai Human Rights Program assists individuals, both in the community and in immigration detention centers, who are seeking asylum in the United States and who have experienced human rights abuses or torture in their countries of origin by conducting expedited psychological, physical and/or gynecological evaluations to support their claims. Their clinicians have specialized training and experience in recognizing, evaluating, and documenting the trauma of persecution, discrimination, abuse, conflict, and displacement. The medical-legal affidavits that their clinical evaluators submit to immigration courts on behalf of survivors are frequently the determining factor in whether asylum is granted or other relief from deportation is obtained. The program serves as a safe haven for survivors, in which to share their experiences and stories.
