Join the Center for Gender & Refugee Studies (CGRS) – California for a virtual training, “Country Conditions in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras for Asylum Claims Based on Harm to Children”. The content of this training is informed by CGRS’s fact-finding investigations to the region and work with experts throughout the years documenting root causes and conditions for children. Presenters will provide an overview of the historical backdrop and existing cultural norms involving conditions for children in these three Central American countries. Participants are also encouraged to submit questions in advance of the training, which we will endeavor to address during the training. We will use interactive case scenarios to highlight important aspects to consider when using country conditions as evidence in asylum cases. Prior background on the basic elements of asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture is helpful. This training will not review the substantive legal requirements and is focused on providing country conditions information.
