FOR EQUAL NATIONALITY RIGHTS, JUSTICE, AND BELONGING
The Global Movement Against Statelessness (The Movement) is a community of stateless people, activists and civil society allies dedicated to the eradication of statelessness and the achievement of equal nationality rights for all and the human rights of all stateless people. The Movement centres and is led by people directly impacted by statelessness, nationality deprivation and discriminatory nationality laws and works to increase solidarity in the field. It aims to bring the statelessness field closer together to strengthen collaboration and achieve positive change.
Nationality = A human right
Statelessness = The most acute violation of this right
Statelessness is an overlooked, devastating issue affecting millions of people worldwide. It knows no boundaries, impacting every continent and race of people. It is cruelly arbitrary, predominately derived and based on racism, sexism, xenophobia and other forms of discrimination. When stateless, a person has little to no access to human rights. These rights, after all, are tied to nationality and belonging to a state that provides protection. The stateless are the most vulnerable people in the world.
