This dissertation investigates how gender-based asylum policies have developed and been administered by the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). In 1995 the INS created a category of gender-specific types of persecution. Examples of gender-based persecution are rape, sexual abuse, genital mutilation, forced marriage, forced sterilization, and domestic violence. The United States is one of only three nations to implement a 1991 United Nations call to recognize gender-based persecution. The history and administration of this policy will be investigated by interviews with INS officials, administrative hearing officers, immigration attorneys, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), human rights activists, and asylum seekers. Observation of hearings and NGO meetings will also provide information on how the policy is being implemented. In addition, archival materials such as INS and UN documents, attorney case files, and NGO reports will provide background information on the history of the policy and its administration.

本文探讨了基于性别的庇护政策是如何制定和管理的移民和归化局（INS）。 1995年，移民和归化局设立了一个针对性别的迫害类别。 基于性别的迫害的例子包括强奸、性虐待、切割生殖器官、强迫婚姻、强迫绝育和家庭暴力。 美国是1991年联合国呼吁承认基于性别的迫害的三个国家之一。 这项政策的历史和管理将通过与移民局官员、行政听证官员、移民律师、非政府组织、人权活动家和寻求庇护者的访谈进行调查。 对听证会和非政府组织会议的观察也将提供关于政策执行情况的信息。 此外，移民局和联合国文件、律师案件档案和非政府组织报告等档案材料将提供关于政策历史及其管理的背景资料。
