Description: As of 8 March 2019, this UNHCR Background Note provides the most up-to-date information on gender equality in nationality laws related to conferring nationality to children. Since 2012, UNHCR has released this annual report to track legal provisions that affect a parent’s ability — particularly a mother’s — to pass on nationality. Laws that deny women equal rights in this area are a key cause of statelessness and fall under UNHCR’s mandate to prevent and reduce it. The report highlights where legal reforms are still needed to ensure gender equality and protect children's right to a nationality.
