Kaur v. Wilkinson

 Some forms of physical violence are so extreme that even attempts to commit them constitute persecution for purposes of seeking asylum; attempted rape is a severe violation of bodily integrity and autonomy, and so is itself almost always a form of persecution; it is the conduct of the persecutor, not the subjective suffering from the perspective of the victim, that matters for purposes of determining what constitutes persecution.
