阻止或拖延性侵犯女性受害者向刑事司法当局披露的障碍，以及往往使专业和非专业决策者不愿认为这种说法可信的障碍，都有充分的记录。本文探讨了在何种程度上，这种困难可能会被复制，并加剧，在女性寻求庇护者的情况下，它将检查复杂的方式，其中的结构和过程，以及严重政治化的背景下，庇护决策可能有助于对沉默的性侵犯的叙述。本文将探讨种族、族裔、性别、文化、宗教、语言和国籍的交叉如何对声称被强奸是其申请的一部分的女性庇护申请人提出独特的挑战，并反映出这在评估性侵犯指控和整体庇护申请的可信度方面存在的一些困难。
The barriers that prevent or delay female victims of sexual assault from disclosing to criminal justice authorities, and the obstacles that often disincline professional and lay decision-makers from finding such narratives credible, have been well documented. This article explores the extent to which such difficulties may be replicated, and compounded, in the case of female asylum-seekers; it will examine the complex ways in which the structure and processes, as well as the heavily politicised context, of asylum decision-making may contribute towards a silencing of sexual assault narratives. The article will explore the ways in which the intersection of race, ethnicity, gender, culture, religion, language and nationality present distinct challenges to women asylum applicants for whom an alleged rape is a part of their claim, and reflect on some of the difficulties this presents in terms of assessing the credibility of sexual assault allegations, and of the overall asylum claim.
