| Description: | For 2019, we recorded a total number of 21 cases. A trend that was seen in the reporting was that most of the reports were physical and verbal assaults. These came from different persons. A small number of cases were reported to the police. Due to a lack of office space, the reports submitted were for asylum purposes. The lack of office space also affected our ability to collect other supporting documents from clients, such as an identification card, police reports, etc. It also affected the number of reports received as well as the purpose for making the report. All reports submitted since the start of the year, were from persons seeking asylum. Another trend recognized was that all reports for the year were made by gay men. |
