“As Roma advocacy coordinator and member of the research Expert Advisory Group, it was important for me that not only fundamental rights, but also cultural rights be considered. I also advised specific reference to antigypsyism since statelessness and antigypsyism are intertwined. Hopefully, the report will raise awareness whilst creating more concrete actions. Bringing our voices together is crucial and knowing that the starting point of stateless people is strength, we support this respectfully and wholeheartedly.” “The research explores how the ongoing COVID pandemic has affected stateless individuals and outlines the shocking reality of how one of the world’s most vulnerable populations can be left behind in such situations. It defines vastly important areas that are worth further exploring to make sure everyone is safe and has the right to health.” “Stateless communities have continually been overlooked and hidden from the public eye. With the measures implemented in response to Covid-19, this marginalised community has become even more isolated, magnifying the inequalities they face. The inclusion of stateless communities in Covid-19 responses is essential for a successful pandemic recovery, and this research is critical in informing needs and rights-based policies to ensure that stateless people are not left behind.” Nowras Rahhal Individual ENS Member & Stateless Activist Anila Noor Managing Director, New Women Connectors Michelle Mila Van Burik Bihari Individual ENS Member & Roma Activist Situation assessment of statelessness, health, and COVID-19 in Europe 4
