MAPPING OF THE POPULATION AT RISK OF STATELESSNESS IN ALBANIA Education System Stateless children could be deprived of their right to education as a result of their lack of documents. Schools can forbid stateless children to take exams or can refuse to issue transcripts or diplomas for them. Access to primary and preschool education is harder for stateless children. Civil Registration Stateless and unregistered individuals cannot access identity documents such as passports or identity cards, etc. Social Assistance and Housing Stateless individuals/children can lack access to economic aid and other social services. Furthermore, stateless children and their families face a permanent risk of deportation. Protection from Trafficking and Abuse Protection of children/individuals from trafficking and other forms of abuse becomes harder when the afflicted are stateless or lack identity documents. Stateless children, who are unable to verify their age or to complete their education, are more susceptible to trafficking, exploitation, begging, early marriage, etc. Independence and Living Opportunities Stateless children/individuals face more restrictions regarding employment, housing, traveling, etc. 74 UNHCR - TLAS / May 2018
