Local Human Rights Commissions in Kentucky

Kentucky has a growing network of local human rights commissions. These partners promote peace, mutual respect, understanding, and quality of life in their regions. When necessary they forward complaints to our agency. These local commissions are vital to Kentucky and to its agency, The Kentucky Commission on Human Rights. Because of budget constraints and our limited resources, their assistance in giving KCHR a community presence in Kentucky’s 120 counties is important. They provide this local presence and the face-to-face contact so necessary to our citizens out across the state in order to uphold security in an increasingly diverse and growing Commonwealth.
