Layli Miller-Muro is an American attorney and activist. She is the founder and Executive Director of the Tahirih Justice Center, a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting women from Human rights abuse through the provision of legal aid and public policy advocacy. ==Human rights advocacy== Miller-Muro founded the organization in 1997 following her involvement in ''Matter of Kasinga'', a high-profile case that set national precedent and revolutionized asylum law in the United States. Fauziya Kassindja, a 17-year-old girl who had fled Togo in fear of a forced polygamous marriage and a tribal practice known as female genital mutilation, was granted asylum in 1996 by the US Board of Immigration Appeals. This decision opened the door to recognizing gender-based persecution as grounds for asylum. Using her portion of the proceeds from a book she and Kassindja co-authored about the case (''Do They Hear You When You Cry?'' Delacorte Press, 1998), Miller-Muro established Tahirih. Prior to joining Tahirih as Executive Director in 2001, Miller-Muro was an attorney at the Washington, D.C. law firm of Arnold & Porter where she practiced international litigation and maintained a substantial pro bono practice. Prior to joining Arnold & Porter, Miller-Muro was an attorney-advisor at the U.S. Department of Justice, Board of Immigration Appeals.
