Between shadows and rights: U.S. Asylum for victims of domestic violence abroad (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798876931832)

Political asylum is a form of humanitarian protection offered to a person and his or her family who leave their home country for their safety, providing them with legal status (asylee) rather than being removed (deported) to a country where they were persecuted or fear persecution or harm.
The support of U.S. legislation is vitally important in the face of political asylum claims for compelling events of family abuse and mistreatment, especially where the victims are often women and children. In addition, there is a great lack of knowledge by victims and attorneys about the possibility of obtaining protection from the immigration system for these events.
This new book compiles information on cases of political asylum for domestic violence throughout national and international history, which have been presented from different perspectives and with different results.
There are many expectations regarding this situation, with changes in government administrations depending on the time, however, the competent authorities address this problem with great concern and interest, and each person, organization, guild or other entities that may be involved to add possible new solutions, could shorten the gaps of understanding.
These small lines are a valuable exercise in the area of training, knowledge and professional preparation, extending the cycle of contributions that has derived from my performance as a foreign lawyer and in turn forced migrant to this country that seeks to vindicate the principles of freedom and equality of this great nation.
