Asylum status
Asylum status is a form of protection granted to individuals who flee their home country due to fear of persecution based on factors such as race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. When someone is granted asylum, they are allowed to remain in the host country, typically with the right to work and access certain services. This status aims to provide safety for people who are at serious risk of harm if they return home. Asylum seekers must often prove their fear of persecution to qualify for this protection.
