Hilana T. Said (Associate-New York, NY) authored "We Can't Apply from the Grave: Why the Asylum Standard of Proof Fails Those Who Need It Most," which appeared in the March 8, 2025, issue of American University Journal of Gender, Social Policy & the Law. Hilana examines how the current asylum standard of proof creates insurmountable persecution barriers for those fleeing persecution – often requiring evidence that is impossible to obtain. The article includes a case study of Hilana's own community, the Coptic Orthodox Church, and how despite numerous well-documented proofs of persecution, those needing asylum continue to fall through the cracks.
