Human Rights Initiative Of North Texas Inc

Promote International Human Rights Through Local Service To Refugees And Immigrants Who Have Suffered Human Rights Abuses. 

Human Rights Initiative provides legal services to people who have suffered human rights abuses.  We represent immigrants who have been victims of violence.  Many HRI clients flee their homelands after experiencing torture and imprisonment because of their religious or political beliefs and apply for asylum in the United States.  HRI also handles matters under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) and the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act.  We represent immigrants who have been abused at the hands of a U.S. Citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident (green card holder) spouse as well as victims of violent crimes who are eligible for U Visas.  HRI also helps immigrant children who are victims of violent crimes, neglect, abuse or abandonment, and human trafficking victims.  Legal services are delivered primarily through the agency’s extensive network of volunteer attorneys. 

Human Rights Initiative is committed to providing high-quality legal services free of charge to those seeking asylum, relief under the Violence Against Women Act, Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act, immigrant victims of violent crime and immigrant child victims of abuse, neglect, and abandonment.
