Living as a stateless person with no nationality: Leal's story

Description

In twenty seven countries, women cannot pass on nationality to their children because they do not have the same rights as men. This is Leal's story: "To be a stateless person is like not existing. You live in a parallel world with no proof of your identity". Across the world today more than ten million people who are stateless with no nationality. Denied a nationality, they are also denied their basic rights; education, medical care, legal employment. We believe it’s time to end this injustice.
