In 2013 we published our first publication – a guide on statelessness determination procedures providing practical support to states wanting to do more to address the issue. Fast-forward to 2022, our website now includes over 150 publications & 450+ blogs statelessness.eu/updates
The second panel of our #StatelessJourneys event highlighted the perspectives of stateless changemakers and community activists. We are incredibly grateful for their honest accounts of the issue and insights on how to instigate positive change at the grassroots.
.@LynnAlKhatib2 co-facilitated the discussion, focusing on how do we get to a place where policy makers talk and listen to stateless people and communities affected by statelessness.
.@RoSirazulIslam is Youth Director of @BritishRohingya and one of the changemakers involved in our #StatelessJourneys campaign. Sirazul shared his experience on how to bridge the gap between decision-makers and people affected by #statelessness in his community.
We’re hugely grateful to all of our wonderful speakers from last week’s #StatelessJourneys campaign launch. Thank you for supporting this work and for demonstrating your commitment to fix protection gaps for #stateless refugees in Europe.

I had a look at party positions on #citizenship in 13 election manifestoes.
What did I find…?
1. Right-wing restriction
2. Left-wing silence / ambiguity
3. Small liberal center
4. New diaspora capture

#1. Right-wing restriction
No surprise. Parties on center-right (VVD), orthodox Christian right (SGP) & populist right (FvD, PVV) advocate citizenship stripping.
‘Freedom’ Party PVV advocates restrictions of #dualcitizens (eg military)
FvD & SGP against pathway to citizenship.

#2. Left-wing silence / ambiguity I
The Greens (GL) & orthodox Socialist Party (SP) are silent on citizenship.
Labour Party (PvdA) somewhat ambiguous on #dualcitizenship: ‘no sign of lack of loyalty, but want to help people get rid of other citizenship, if they want’.
