Asylum Act

The Asylum Act refers to laws that provide protection to individuals fleeing persecution or danger in their home countries. Those seeking asylum must demonstrate a well-founded fear of persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. Once granted asylum, individuals can live safely in the host country, often with the right to work and access to services. The act aims to ensure safety and humanitarian support for those in need, while also establishing a legal framework for evaluating asylum claims.
