When someone flees his home or country because of any threats to life and moves towards a safe region, the journey can be overwhelming. If you are going to apply for asylum, there are a lot of questions running in your mind; you carry fear, uncertainty, or you feel confused while trying to figure out what is going to happen in an unfamiliar place. Your mind is filled with thoughts of safety, reaching authorities, adjusting to a new system, and many more.
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.
