Question: Read the Case Study 4, Olivia from Chang-Muy and Congress (2016), p. 268 in the book Social work with immigrants and refugees: Legal issues, clinical skills and advocacy (2nd ed.), (pp. 257-272). The case study follows:

Olivia is a lesbian from Uganda. In high school, she fell in love and began a secret relationship with another female student. When Olivia's cousin discovered the relationship, he told her entire family, who brought a stranger into their home to rape her while they watched. Olivia did not seek protection from the police because homosexuality is illegal in Uganda. Olivia fled to the United States. She is desperate to stay and fears the consequences if she returns to Uganda. She says she does not trust the U.S. government because it seems to her to be full of cruel men.
