[edit] Community Human Rights Councils
AUMOHD organizes and convenes human rights councils, helping individuals and families with legal assistance. The councils support the community through information sharing. 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.
