Services delivered by Hoqooq Offices
•  Hoqooq
Offices
were
men=oned
by
a
very
small
percentage
(7%)

of
the
FGDs'
par=cipants
as
en=ty
to
resolve
the
civil
disputes
of

the
community
members

•  Majority
of
the
FGDs'
par=cipants
were
not
aware
of
the
services

delivered
by
the
Hoqooq
Offices
or
have
not
even
heard
the
name

of
the
Hoqooq
Offices

•  Some
of
the
FGDs'
par=cipants
confused
the
name
of
the
Hoqooq

Office
with
Human
Rights
Commission
as
in
local
language
it
is

translated
as
"Hoqooq
Bashar"
and
this
similarity
in
name
might

have
resulted
in
confusion.
