Women who make a gender-based claim and individuals who file a claim based on sexual orientation or identity will be the major victims of this bill, particularly since it would prohibit access for asylum claimants to humanitarian considerations and to risk assessment before removal for a period of 12 months following the inadmissibility of the claim. Prohibiting this recourse will only increase the number of women whose lives will be in danger when they return to their country of origin.
