Gender Persecution
Gender identity persecution is when someone is harmed because they are transsexual, transgender or do not conform to gender stereotypes. Persecution can include threats, attacks, beatings, forced sex, mental abuse and severe economic harm.
Asylum
Asylum is a U. S. legal mechanism for protecting immigrants who know, or believe, they will be harmed if they go back to their home countries. People who are granted asylum are allowed to stay in the U. S., get a work permit and limited public benefits and eventually get a green card.
