That's another case but for people that are preparing before it happens, the normal path is what they will seek for. It's good to know that there are asylum visas and you made me remember that person who guided Drew Binsky on Afghanistan with one of his vlogs and travel there. And when the Taliban group took over the government there, he's granted asylum and went to Australia. So, thanks for explaining that. It's the path of those people that want to relocate themselves into a safer country as long as they're welcome there.

Unfortunately, this isn't available to everyone. In most cases, if not all, you must prove that you were persecuted in your country in order to be granted a refugee visa. Take Afghanistan, for example. Afghanistan is currently considered a stable country, free of conflict and war after the Taliban regained power following the US withdrawal. This means that life in Afghanistan is relatively safe, and therefore no one can complain about the lack of security. At the same time, there is a freedom crisis in Afghanistan. Therefore, women, for example, may apply for a refugee visa because they are not allowed to study and enjoy personal freedoms, or journalists who want to practice their profession with greater freedom. This means that some form of harm must be proven before they can be granted asylum in another country.

You're right. That's what is happening in Afghanistan now, the inequality between men and women is of great shape and that's why it's only for women. I also think that there are countries that are into great names from specific countries who are also persecuted in their countries, one of them is Netherlands. I don't know the entire details of it but just as you have explained, that's how it goes for it. Also, the North Korean defectors, they could also apply asylum if they are successful in escaping their country.

In most cases, it is not easy for citizens living under a dictatorial regime to prove that they have been persecuted. The reasons are obvious: these countries are usually stable, free of conflict or war and therefore considered safe (North Korea is an example), and because there are no mechanisms or institutions that can help prove harm. In North Korea, there is no internet access to the outside world, no human rights organizations, and no passports, making escape almost impossible. Women in Afghanistan suffer the same situation, maybe even more so, because they are legally forbidden from going out into public spaces alone without a man (brother, father, husband, son), and they are not allowed to study for many years. All networks are monitored by the authorities, making it difficult for them to find an opportunity to escape.
