Asylum for refugees throughout the world and over the centuries, societies have welcomed frightened, weary

strangers, the victims of persecution and violence. On the name of humanity, our government really appreciate how to enact the number of refugees under 1951 convention on refugees. A large scale of persecution produce million refugees and internally displaces persons. They should take our important attention. Protecting refugees means maintaining solidarity with the world's most threatened, while finding answers to the challenges confronting the international system that was created to do just that. Our government can not deny the number of refugees related to gender both male and female. Mostly women have been suffering as like femine genital mutilation, prostitution , forced marriage ,and the new constitution of new social groups, women become a prior in taking refugees . the statistic that do exist that ten percentage of women amongts asylum seekers arriving inFrance has increased gradually over the past six years from 29,6 per cent in 2001 to 35,8 per cent in 2006. this growth in the proportion of women has continued despite a considerable fall in the overall numbers of asylum seekers arriving in France in 2006. Mostly in 2007 they come from serbia 2250, Turkey2039, Russia2001, Sri lanka, DR Congo, Armenia, China,Bangladesh, algeria, congo, ginea, haiti, nigeria, azerbaijan, angola,sudan Problem relating to women asylum seekers and gender related claims would be better solved by trusting to the common sense of individuals to ensure that any gender inequality would be dealt with effectively , without going to the lengths of introducing official guidelines as before.

refugees have been the targets of violent attacks and intimidation, largely because they were perceived as different from the communities in which they had temporarily settled. Tensions etweem refugees and local populations have erupted when refugees were seen as competitors for antural and economic resources. Every domestic conflict is coming up as international problem today. We cant deny how the great impact influences the neigboorhood both in regional and global. The most important which really need to pay attention is humanitarian case both male and female. They become asylum seekers which are spreading over the safe country. As we understand for this condition, our government appreciate for UNHCR as institutional which put refuggeess case as the prior. During this age, there are about there are significance differences between different women asylum seekers and refugees, and that not all women can be places in the same category. women's experiences will vary depending on whether they arrive alone or as part of a couple or family, whether they bring children with them and depending also on their age, their national or ethnic origins, their religion etc. several social workers also underlines the problem of communicating with women from some national origins, a problem which went far deeper than that of a language barrier and which related to the status of women within society and within couples in some countries. It was noted that women from the caucasus region and women from roma communities, often arrived with their husbands and remained totally dependent on and submissive to their husbands, which meant that they did not feel able to speak for themselves. women who arrive with children, whether alone or as part of a couple, ill be a priority on the lists for attributing places in accomodation centres, for example and thus may be favourably treated in the attribution of housing. . but several respondents pointed to the many difficulties facing women alone with their children, who have to manage the needs of these children at the same time as undertaking all the procedures necessary to make an asylum claim. Similarly, women refugees who are alone with children were noted as having more difficulties in finding a job, becauese of the constraints imposed by having to spend a lot of their time looking after their children. there are discrimination based on gnder still exist for asylum seekers and refugees in France regarding the raisig up feminin type as like femine genital mutilation, prostitution , foreced marriage ,and the new constitution of new socail groups, women become a prior in taking refugees . the statistic taht do exist that teh percentage of women amongts asylum seekers arriving inFrance has increased gradually over the past six years from 29,6 per cent in 2001 to 35,8 per cent in 2006. this growth in the proportion of women has continued despite a considerable fall in the overall numbers of asylum seekers arriving in France in 2006. in thsi respect the situation in France similar to that in other European countries where women make up around one third of asylum claimants. the increase in te proportion of women asylum seekers to 35,8 per cent in 2006 and 36,5 per cent in 2007 supports the claims made by those working within OFPRA and CNDA, that they are dealing with growing numbers of asylum claims by women. This feminisation of asylum claims is also explicitly recognised in OFPRA's most recent activity reports. No children seeker come to France, they are mostly women widowed men.

in 2007, they come from serbia 2250, Turkey2039, Russia2001, Sri lanka, DR Congo, Armenia, China,Bangladesh, algeria, congo, ginea, haiti, nigeria, azerbaijan, angola,sudan gendered realtions of power in different countries will affect women in varying ways, and will either encourage them to flee and/or hamper them in their flight. in countries where gendered inequalities are very severe and where discrimination and persecution against women are widespread, women may have more incentive to migrate, but at the same time thsi migration may become extremely difficult because of these same gendered inequalities in power and resources. The statistics for France seem to confirm the tendencies noted in other countries, that the proportion of female asylum seekers is higher from countries of origin where there is a civil war or high levels of civil unrest. the proportion of women asylum seekers is higher for countries where civil unrest and/or war are widespread. It is lower in countries where the primary focus on human rights violation is political and civil rights abuses and where women's rights are repressed. variations such as these underline the importance of considering gender specific country of origin information during the asylum determination process and in providing suitable reception conditions for women asylum seekers and refugees. recognized the 1951 convention, the criteria belonging to a particular social group would continue to be pplicable to asylum seekers fearing FGM for themselves or theri daughters when they have left their countries specifally to seek asylum in France because of their opposition to FGM status they may be slightly favoured within the asylum determination process. There is a clear difference between women and men in those granted subsidiary protection, with women making up the majority of recipients of this form of protection. OFPRA's 2006 activity report indicates that with respect to asylum claimants originating from sub saharan African, women composed 63 per cent of those who benefited from subsidiary protection, and in 2007 , 56 percent of the total of those granted subsidiary protection were women. The raltively high proportion of women who are afforded subsidiary protection may also be a matter for concern, as subsidairy protection mayi n some cases be granted where previously the woman concerned would have received convention refugee status. several of the interviewers working for NGO or association expresed the view that subsiadiary protection ight subsitute for convention status for several types of gender related persecution such as forced marriage which under UNHCR's 2002 guidelines on international protection could in fact qualify them for refugee status. there was a great degree of confussiona bout which types of claim should qualify for subsidiary protection rather than refugee status and that there was need of a much clearer jurisprudence in this are. UNHCR has produced a series of guidelines concerning teh protection of female asylum seekers and refugees and the treatment of gender related asylum claims.following these guidelines, several

countries have introduced gender guidelines in teir own national refugees status determination system including canda, USA, Australia, South Africa, Sweden and UK. problem relating to women asylum seekers and gender related claims would be better solved by trusting to the common sense of individuals to ensure that any gender inequality would be dealt with effectively , without going to the lengths of introducing officla guidelines. although there are a series of international guidelines and directives related to the gender issues in the refugee determination process, emanating both from The UNHCR and from European Union Institutions. French authorities have not offially adopted any of these into their own policies or procedures. open revision as is eveidenced by OFPRA's recently introduced policy on women seeking asylum to protect their daughters from female genital mutilation. CNDA as the association which is adopted may for example provide very different interpretations of what consitutte persecution in gender related cases and how this may or may not be considered as gorunds for refugees status under 1951 convention Procedure under France's asylum system, asylum seekers are streamed into one of two procedures, the regular or the priority procedure. both procdure require asylum seekers to undertake a seemingly endless number of trips to various administrative offices and decision making bodies. the regular procedure is offered to those who have the proper documentation to be in France whereas the priority procedure is offered to those who do not have proper documentation. the priority procedure does not allow asylum seekers very much time to put together their asylum claim. it also often deprives asylum seekers from access to legal aid or other social services. In the vast ,majority of cases, the claims under the priority procedure are rejected. Accordingly, many activists argue that there is a bias underpinning the priority procedure. subsisdiary protection was introduced as part of the sweeping changes in French asylum law in 2003. It repalces a previous form of protection known as territorial asylum. Under this new system, protection may be granted to persons who do not satisfy the criteria of conventional assylum but who can prove that they would be exposed in their country of origins to serious threats of capital punishment, torture or inhuman treatment or punishment, or a serious threat to life as a result of indiscriminate violence due to internal or interantional armed conflict. asylum seekers have become of a campaign issue in election situations, with governments and opposition partiesvy ing with each other to appear toughest on teh bogus asylum seekers flooding into their countries. asylum seekers make a perfect target for people wanting to invoke the age old prejudice against foreigners. Parliamentarians should thus take the lead in promoting respect and tolerance for refugees and in encouraging local populations to see refugees not only as people needing and deserving international protection, but also as persons with a real and enduring contribution to make to the betterment and diversification of their communities.
