The Syrian Initiative to Combat Statelessness 60 1- Activists and influencers The participating activists held themselves responsible for their delay in proposing solutions to the problem of statelessness, and for not discussing the problem in all its aspects before it exacerbates. They indicated several points that all those concerned about women and children must work on: - Faith in the rights they demand. - Adopting the cause and talking about it in various media outlets. - Contributing to raising awareness through advocacy campaigns in cooperation with the relevant stakeholders. - Raising community awareness of the dangers of statelessness and the need to grant women their nationality and lineage to their children. - Facilitating and assisting civil society organizations to reach affected families. 2- Politicians and Diplomats Activists believe that the role of Syrian politicians and diplomats is no less important than the role of the parties in the Syrian scene. From this standpoint, the participants suggested that the role of politicians and diplomats should focus on raising the issue in political platforms, and in international bodies and forums that are interested in the internal situation of Syria. These bodies are able to influence and pressure the regime to endorse the right of Syrian women to grant their nationality to their children, change the laws related to granting of lineage from the mother, and obtain international recognition for the civil records that will be created that include all stateless children related to their mothers. 3- Civil society organizations In recent years, civil society organizations are considered the primary outlet for many activities essential to the lives of individuals, and accordingly the participants suggested that civil society organizations assume the role of coordination between the local community and the relevant authorities for registration and documentation. They should also define registration mechanisms to facilitate the transfer of cases to the documentation bodies, in addition to preparing society to accept the idea of granting women the nationality and lineage through social, legal and psychological awareness programs according to the specialization of each organization.
