Asylum, as an internationally recognised lifesaving right, provides options for starting a new life to those who leave their homes due to war, violence, or any other serious human rights violations. But if not guided well, this journey towards asylum can bring problems.

Asylum is a lifesaving protection. When people migrate to other countries for safety, they bring a lot of changes to the host countries…and the policies governing them. 

There are countless stories of people leaving their motherlands and fleeing to seek asylum in other countries to avoid conflicts, violence, and any kind of persecution or fear of being killed.

After coming to the UK to pursue my Masters in Human Rights, I have learned how asylum has been applied and exercised in developed countries.
