The European Women’s Lobby (EWL) and the Refugee Women’s Resource Project at Asylum Aid (UK) … present this practical advocacy guide which demonstrates how both the EU Qualification and Procedures Directives should be interpreted from a gender perspective, by usingthe UNHCR Guidelines on International Protection : Gender-Related Persecution within the context of Article 1A(2) of the 1951 Convention and/or its 1967 Protocol relating to the Status of Refugees (2002). A more extensive, in-depth analysis of both of these Directives on the basis of the UNHCR Gender Guidelines (2002) is also available as a separate document for use by asylum determination officials, lawyers and legal representatives of women claiming asylum, and those providing accompanying, support, information, interpreting and guidance services. The overall aim is to provide a comprehensive analysis on how the legal provisions contained in both Directives can be effectively interpreted and applied to gender-based asylum claims."
