Sexual and gender-based persecution and tribunal decision making: Challenges for decision-makers when social and cultural mores intersect with administrative review

With the new wave of refugees arriving from the Middle East, Africa and Asia, Australia has seen many women claiming sexual and gender-based persecution. This form of violence is socially and culturally constructed. It is triggered by issues relating to sex and gender and the associated discrimination or vulnerability faced by women in their communities. The essential elements of sexual and gender-based persecution claims exist within the varying cultural and social contexts of the claimant. This has made it difficult for administrative decision-makers to identify all the defining attributes of a sexual and gender-based persecution claim. In Australia, this socially and culturally constructed form of persecution has intersected with grounds of judicial review, which require tribunal decision-makers to identify all essential components of a claim on the material that is before the tribunal. This article aims to highlight the practical complexities facing decision-makers in assessing sexual and gender-based violence claims within the Australian framework.
