This report combines legal and qualitative research to test the Government against its promises to establish a gender-sensitive asylum system. Drawing on interviews with asylum-seeking women and refugees across the UK, the report also brings together the jurisprudence and policies most relevant to those with gender-based asylum claims in a single document for the first time In so doing, it maps the work still ahead in order for the Government to honour its commitments.

Christel Querton's article 'Unfair, Unsafe and Undignified', trailing the research and its findings, was published by Open Democracy on 24 January.
