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.
