    Asylum Argument Essay

    For many reasons, a female asylum applicant might not have access to identity documents or other documentary proof of her claim. For example, women in the applicant’s country may not be afforded full rights of citizenship, or an applicant’s means of support may have been dependent upon a male relative who had control over any documents pertaining to the female applicant. It may be unreasonable to expect a woman fleeing from a refugee producing country to have documentation of sexual abuse because of the strong cultural stigma attached to rape; “women survivors of sexual violence often are reluctant to seek medical assistance or to file police reports because they do not want it known that they were raped.” Global Report on Women’s Human Rights, August 1996. Cultural differences and norms governing women’s behavior, as well as the effects of trauma, may present special difficulties in evaluating credibility of female asylum applicants.…
