Last Wednesday, Japan granted refugee status to a Ugandan lesbian. After arriving in Japan in 2020, the Ugandan woman applied for refugee status on the grounds that her sexual orientation was violently confronted by the police in her hometown, but was rejected by the Japanese authorities and ordered to be deported.

In order to improve the refugee status determination process and increase transparency, the Japanese Immigration Agency recently announced the refugee status determination guidelines. In March, the court ruled that the Ugandan woman met the criteria for refugee status announced by the Japanese government and ordered her recognition as a refugee. Once granted refugee status, she will be able to live temporarily in Japan for up to five years.
