Guatemalan native and citizen Lidia Perez-Mancilla, individually and on behalf of her minor daughter Mairyn Villeda-Perez, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), which dismissed her appeal from an immigration judges decision denying her asylum and withholding of removal.

After careful review, assuming without deciding that Perez-Mancillas proposed particular social group of “Guatemalan women who are unable to leave a domestic relationship and who are treated as property” is cognizable, we conclude substantial evidence supports the agencys determination that Perez-Mancilla failed to demonstrate membership in that group, particularly given that she had no ongoing contact with her alleged abuser and was in a new relationship. See Fuentes-Erazo v. Sessions, 848 F.3d 847, 852-53 (8th Cir. 2017) (standard of review); see also Godinez v. Barr, 929 F.3d 598, 602 (8th Cir. 2019); Najera v. Whitaker, 745 F. Appx 670, 671-72 (8th Cir. 2018) (per curiam). Because Perez-Mancilla therefore failed to satisfy her burden of proof on her asylum claim, the BIA properly concluded she necessarily failed to satisfy the more rigorous standard for withholding of removal. See Fuentes-Erazo, 848 F.3d at 853.
Accordingly, we deny the petition for review.

. Because Villeda-Perezs asylum application is derivative of her mothers, all references are to Perez-Mancilla. See 8 U.S.C. § 1158(b)(3)(A) (stating that a child may be granted asylum if the accompanying principal noncitizen was granted asylum). There are no derivative benefits for withholding of removal. See Fuentes v. Barr, 969 F.3d 865, 868 n.1 (8th Cir. 2020) (per curiam). Perez-Mancilla has waived any challenge to the BIAs denial of her motion to remand because she does not challenge it in her brief. See Chay-Velasquez v. Ashcroft, 367 F.3d 751, 756 (8th Cir. 2004) (concluding that a claim not raised or meaningfully argued in an opening brief is deemed waived).
