Eligibility for asylum for survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) has recently been contested. We summarize social science evidence to show how such survivors generally meet asylum criteria. Studies consistently show a relationship between patriarchal factors and IPV, thereby establishing a key asylum criterion that women are being persecuted because of their status as women. Empirical support is also provided for other asylum criteria, specifically: patriarchal norms contribute to state actors' unwillingness to protect survivors, and survivors' political opinions are linked to an escalation of perpetrators' violence. The findings have implications for policy reform and supporting individual asylum-seekers.
亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）幸存者的庇护资格最近受到质疑。我们总结了社会科学证据，以表明此类幸存者通常如何符合庇护标准。研究一致表明，父权制因素与 IPV 之间存在关联，从而确立了一个关键的庇护标准，即女性因其女性身份而受到迫害。其他庇护标准也得到了实证支持，具体而言：父权制规范导致国家行为体不愿意保护幸存者，而幸存者的政治观点与施害者暴力升级有关。这些发现对政策改革和支持个别寻求庇护者具有影响。
