Today, November 4, marks the 9th anniversary of UNHCR's global campaign to end #statelessness #IBelong . #Statelessness is a problem that forces millions of people to live in the shadows, depriving them of most of their rights and opportunities.

[Right to Protection @R2Protection]

According to UNHCR, there are about 10 million stateless people worldwide. In Ukraine, there are 35 thousand of them. The situation is only getting worse due to the full-scale invasion. We must join forces so that everyone can say #IBelong

[Forced Migration Review @FMReview]

War has exacerbated the severe difficulties faced by #stateless people in Ukraine. Barriers to accessing humanitarian aid, safe passage & protection need to be addressed. Read: https://t.co/ny09jnFami @KordonetsSofiia @R2Protection @ApatrideNetwork

At @Refugees #HCDialogue closing plenary our Director Chris Nash intervening to welcome increased focus on #statelessness in development cooperation but equally critical need to support the inclusion &legal empowerment of stateless communities to advocate for their own solutions

[European Network on Statelessness @ENStatelessness]

#Stateless people face basic rights violations every day, from destitution and denial of services to immigration detention.

The solution to this problem is straightforward. What is required is political will.
