Can you still win an asylum case based on FGM? Yes — absolutely

Can you still win an asylum case based on FGM? Yes — absolutely. Female genital mutilation is a recognized basis for asylum in the United States, and we've won many of these cases for people from a variety of countries. ✅ To win asylum, it's not enough to show persecution alone — you have to show it's connected to one of five protected characteristics under U.S. law: race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. If you were subjected to FGM yourself, your case falls under the particular social group category. If you weren't, but you're facing harm because you're refusing to allow it to happen to your child, that falls under political opinion — which may sound surprising, but that's how the law has been interpreted. ⚖️ Either way, these cases are very much winnable. The legal framework is there, and with the right representation, you can build a strong claim. 💪 For help with your asylum case, send the word "CONSULT" to me in a direct message.
