Summary/Abstract: In recent years, Brazil has been registering an annual increase for asylum requests. From 2011, driven by the earthquake in Haiti and later by the War in Syria, the country saw applications grow from 1,465 in 2011 to 82,552 in 2019, the year before the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic (Silva, Cavalcanti, Oliveira & Macedo, 2020). After a brief drop in 2020, 28,899 requests (Silva, Cavalcanti, Oliveira, Costa & Macedo, 2021), the number increased again in 2021 as the COVID-19 pandemic was being controlled, reaching 29,107 requests registered by the National Committee for Refugees (Conare), entity responsible for the status of refuge in Brazil (Junger, Cavalcanti, Oliveira & Silva, 2021).
