If the applicant so requests and if the request appears to be manifestly well-founded due to the difficulty for the applicant to explain all the reasons for their asylum application, in particular those relating to sexual violence, the interview shall be conducted, as far as possible, by an official of the French Office for the Protection of Refugees and Stateless Persons of the applicant’s preferred gender and in the presence of an interpreter of the applicant’s preferred gender.
