Annotation:
The focus of the Center is the protection of women's human rights, specifically asylum seekers, through public policy initiatives, advocacy, legal expertise and resource dissemination. The website, although primarily focused on the United States, does have some international content. Gender asylum case law, documents and summaries are available through the website, including some unpublished decisions. Searches of case law can be performed by country of origin or type of persecution, ground of asylum claim, and jurisdiction. Users can also access help in documenting cases, finding an expert witness and obtain legal advice and assistance. Advocates can post information about particular cases to help build the existing database. Also available is a bibliography of supporting documents and links to other related websites.
