I AM AN ATTORNEY AT LAW IN NEW YORK AREA, CURRENTLY RESEARCHING OLD, NEW AND FUTURE POSSIBILITIES OF IMMIGRATION LAWS AFFECTING WOMEN FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. WOMEN WHO WISH TO TAKE REFUGE IN THE UNITED STATES AFTER FLEEING OR IN THE PROCESS OF FLEEING ABUSE OR REPRESSIVE SOCIAL NORMS AND PRACTICES DIRECTED AT THE FEMALE SEGMENT OF THE SOCIETY ALONE IN THEIR NATIVE COUNTRIES.
I HAVE COME ACCROSS THIS BLOGG POST WHICH I USED AS THE STARTING POINT OF MY RESEARCH.:

AS MY RESEARCH CONTINUES I WILL BE WRITING AND POSTING MORE HELPFUL INFORMATION ON THIS ISSUE.
Thanks to the Obama administration, which has made available to BATTERED AND ABUSED women from OTHER countries, the option to seek refuge under asylum laws in the United States.
In July 2009, the administration said that if women from other countries could could demonstrate that they had been mistreated, repressed, abused, forced into marriage, raped and/or persecuted in any other way by their husbands, or anyone else in their society or in their home country due to the fact that they are women and the laws and the law enforcement in their country either unable or unwilling to provide them any protection, then such women could seek refuge in the United States.
As Mr. Obama had promised in his past campaign the concept of "CHANGE", so this provision by the Obama administration would allow abused women to file for legal residency status through asylum. That is a big change!!!! I SALUTE THE OBAMAS.
Many requests for asylum filed in the United States are based on claims by applicants that they fear persecution if they are sent back to their homeland because of their race, religion, nationality, political opinion.
However, claims based on gender is a new light on the horizon knowing the extent to which women have been abused and repressed and treated as property in many cultures through out the world.
Battered or abused women from other countries who want to start a new life in the United States now have a chance to do that through asylum, thanks to the Obama administration revising asylum laws(credit : report by NAM health editor Viji Sundaram.)
