Running asylum claims based on a particular social group


In this free webinar, Kerry Smith and Natalie Wilkins from our Immigration Team will discuss running asylum claims based on a particular social group (PSG) including:

  • How a PSG is defined, including the recent case of DH (particular social group: Mental Health) Afghanistan
  • Examples of particular social groups including women, LGBTI+, children at risk of FGM and their parents, former victims of trafficking, people with disabilities/ mental illness
  • How to evidence a new PSG
  • The inter-relationship between PSG and persecution
  • What kinds of persecution different PSGs may suffer, e.g. exploitation and destitution, and what evidence is needed to show that
