The panel accepted the claimant's identity and credibility, found documentary evidence establishes systemic violence against women in Guinea and a lack of effective state protection, concluded there is a reasonable chance of persecution on account of membership of the particular social group 'women', and therefore allowed the claim under s.96 and s.97(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
