The question whether persecuted women can be refugees seems uncontroversial and now well-settled as a matter of international refugee law. Yet, closer scrutiny of case law suggests that there are multiple impediments to the recognition of women’s asylum claims.

The author calls these trends – distinction, discretion and discrimination – the “new frontiers” to gender-related claims.
