Wolves are a lesson in endurance and courage. Each day wolves touch and caress one another to reaffirm their close relationship...a warm and loving reminder to all humankind. They live in communities and vigorously protect the most vulnerable in their pack: their young.

We provide Human Rights Protection to the most vulnerable in the world through the Asylum process in the United States. Founder, Judith Marty is an attorney and former INS supervisory asylum officer. For six years, she supervised and trained asylum officers on how to adjudicate asylum cases. Prior to that, she worked for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees adjudicating children's cases in refugee camps. Ask her expert advice before you file for asylum.

What is asylum?

Asylum is a form of human rights protection for those who have been or could be persecuted because of their race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. In the  United States, "withholding of removal" and Convention Against Torture laws also provide human rights protection for those who may not qualify for asylum.

"If the world hates you, remember it has hated me first." The Passion

One of the easiest ways to understand asylum, is to look at the persecution of Jesus Christ. He is a well-known world figure. Jesus expressed religious and political opinions that were not in favor with the majority of his times. When he was threatened, he asked for "protection of the State", then, Rome. (In modern times, the filing of an asylum application is the request for "protection from the State": an applicant asks for protection from the United States). Jesus' request was denied, and consequently, he was tortured and killed just as he feared. Throughout history, numerous other persons have been tortured and killed because of one of the "five grounds". No matter what one's religious beliefs, the story of Jesus is one of the most well-known. He shared an important message with the world. This same message about love, compassion, and justice has been espoused by others of a variety of religious and political persuasions,  and they, too, have been persecuted for it. The founding principles in the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and Declaration of Independence are also an effort to address these human needs in an enlightened society. As we carry out asylum and other human rights laws, we are making decisions about love, compassion, and justice.

"That which you do unto the least of me, you do unto Me." There is a reason why Jesus spent time with Lepers and prostitutes.

 Services and Products

Receive a consultation about your Asylum claim before you spend money or risk deportation.

If  you are in detention, DO NOT sign any documents or agree to deportation until you have consulted with a human rights attorney.  You have valuable rights to fight deportation. Say these words to all immigration officials, "I am afraid to return to my country."  These words will stop the deportation and give you time to consult an attorney. If you need protection, you have 3 remedies to stop the deportation: asylum, withholding of removal, and Convention Against Torture.

For best results, act before you are detained. There are critical deadlines. Many people who qualify wait too long. You can lose valuable rights if you do not file your Asylum application in a timely manner. You may also qualify for withholding of removal or Convention Against Torture protection. We provide expert advice to protect your rights.

Speaker services are available on many topics to enhance positive human relations.

School of the Americas (Assassins)

Approximately one in five male inmates in the United States
has faced forced or pressured sexual contact in custody,
according to studies on the subject by researchers such as
Cindy Struckman-Johnson at the University of South Dakota.
One in 10 has been raped. For women, whose abusers are often corrections officers, the rates of sexual assault are as
high as one in four in some facilities.
 
 
"The horrors experienced by many young inmates, particularly those who are convicted of nonviolent offenses, border on the unimaginable. Prison rape not only threatens the lives of those who fall prey to their aggressors, but it is potentially devastating to the human spirit. Shame, depression, and a shattering loss of self-esteem accompany the perpetual terror the victim thereafter must endure."

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Harry A. Blackmun, Farmer v. Brennan


 
 
Asylum For Women
 
The U.S. Attorney General is threatening to remove protections for refugee women.  Seventy-five percent of all refugees are women and children. It is very important that you contact your congressional representatives and urge them to protect women refugees by preserving asylum for victims of gender-based persecution.
