Name: Work Video:
Duration: 3 min 30 s
Description: Although sexual orientation and gender identity have been grounds for political asylum since the mid‐ to late 1990s, not all courts accept sexuality or gender as meeting the qualifications of membership in a particular social group. This entry provides an overview of some of the challenges to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex asylum claims.
