Conditions in home country

It may be helpful to include evidence about any hardships a woman and her child may face in their home country.

This evidence might include, for example, news articles, reports by non-governmental organizations or governments, or expert reports about:

  • a lack of protection for women who are abused
  • poor medical care for a health condition she or her child has
  • the effect the country’s culture or customs has on a woman’s safety or well being
  • high rates of poverty or violence against women and children
  • poor treatment towards people with a characteristic the woman or child has, such as a disability, language, sexual orientation, religion or ethnicity

Include personal evidence that shows that the woman or affected child has that personal characteristic.
