Speaking today at the event on Prevention and Eradication of Statelessness in the Americas. An opportunity I am glad to have as I get to represent the plight of impacted individuals amongst ambassadors of countries from OAS.

[Kelly T. Clements @KellyTClements]

I had the privilege today to meet strong advocates for efforts to eradicate #statelessness - there is no way we will make progress alone and the rights advocacy of these stateless-led organizations and others will help the new Global Alliance get there. 🙏🏼

Unless the current Constitution recognises the independent legal identity of women at par with men, women remain to be formally second-class citizens.

Your attention please, we are debunking myths:

Nationality is NOT determined by gender. It is a legal relationship between an individual and a state, and it is distinct from gender, race, ethnicity, and other personal attributes.

Thank you.

By denying women their basic identity or not considering them as equal human beings, it's a strategic way to cut and disempower women by cutting or disregarding their equal rights- Neha Gurung
