According to Sisterhood is Global, "there are many women supporting children born out of wedlock. They are not severely stigmatized but are not fully accepted" (Morgan 1984, 749).

Additional and/or corroborating information could not be found among the sources currently available to the DIRB.

This response was prepared after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the DIRB within time constraints. This response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum.
