Abstract

This article examines the use of lethality assessments in U.S. procedures for making asylum determinations. Global estimates suggest that one-third of the world's women experience some type of interpersonal violence. The author focuses on the asylum claims of women in the Northern Triangle of Central America--El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras--where rates of violence against women are extremely high.
