Human Rights Initiative of North Texas

HRI provides free legal representation to those individuals who have suffered human rights abuses in their homelands and have credible asylum cases. In addition to asylum cases, HRI has been able to respond to other legal needs when traditional refugee services have not: in cases of human trafficking and violence against indigent immigrant women and children.

HRI's clients include victims of human rights abuses seeking asylum in the United States, victims of human trafficking, victims of spousal or child abuse at the hands of a U.S. citizen or Permanent Resident, immigrant children who flee from violence and travel to the U.S. alone, or immigrant children that have been abused, abandoned or neglected by their parents in the U.S.
