It is said, especially in the field of human rights and migration, that it is based on the concept of persecution, defined in the field of asylum as the serious or sustained or systematic violation of human rights; Gender-based persecution occurs when these rights violations are related to the role assigned to a person because of their gender identity (female, male, trans, or other) or because of their sexual preferences. Discrimination or less favourable treatment may amount to persecution and require international protection.
