The Advocates for Human Rights
The Advocates for Human Rights is a non-governmental, 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to the promotion and protection of internationally recognized human rights. With the help of the more than 600 active volunteers who contribute an estimated $3.4 million annually of in-kind services, The Advocates documents human rights abuses, advocates on behalf of individual victims, educates on human rights issues, and provides training and technical assistance to address and prevent human rights violations.
Health care professionals play an integral role in The Advocates' asylum cases, providing expert documentation of the physical and psychological effects of torture and violence suffered by asylum seekers. The Minnesota Asylum Network provides an opportunity for physicians, psychologists and other health care professionals to volunteer their time and expertise to help document the asylum claim.
