[edit] Community Human Rights Councils

In the course of helping individuals and families not able to afford legal assistance, AUMOHD has convened human rights councils. These groups have come together sharing information and moral support while looking for avenues to do more to help themselves and their community. Four existing Community Human Rights Councils have been convened which are supported by AUMOHD through legal advice, legal services, communication, transportation, and social service referrals.
