Gender is a fundamental part of our identity. No one should experience violence because of it. And if they do, they have a right to seek safety.
The international community created asylum as a pathway to safety for those who are experiencing violence due to a central part of their identity. Now, gender-based asylum is under attack. This proposed rule will shut the door completely to safety and be a death sentence for people fleeing for their lives.

Individuals fleeing gender-based violence deserve access to safety.
We’ve made progress since the creation of asylum guidelines in 1951, but that is all under threat.
The legal protections that exist have been increasingly under attack. And now, the administration is attempting to close the door to safety completely for individuals fleeing gender-based violence. We must act now to #SaveAsylum.

When someone takes a life-threatening journey to escape systemic fear, violence, and lack of protection in their home country, we must treat them with care and respect.
Following the horrors of the Holocaust, governments around the world recognized that people should not experience violence due to a central part of their identity. The international community then created asylum as a pathway to safety.
Now, asylum is under attack in the United States. The administration proposed new regulations that would make it nearly impossible to obtain protection in the U.S., including for survivors of gender-based violence. Women fleeing rape and severe domestic violence, LGBTQIA+ individuals facing deadly attacks, and those escaping other fatal gender-based harms will no longer be allowed to seek safety within U.S. borders.

*What is gender-based violence?*
Gender inequality is pervasive around the world, and violence is both a cause and consequence of this inequality.
Gender-based violence may include female genital mutilation/cutting, intimate partner violence,
“honor” violence, sexual assault and rape, forced marriage, and human trafficking. While the majority of victims of gender-based violence are women, any person who lives outside of their community’s deeply-rooted beliefs and cultural norms related to sex, gender, and power can be subjected to gender-based violence.
