The Syrian Initiative to Combat Statelessness 86 In the end, statelessness as mentioned in the research is not an extraneous problem for the Syrian society after the beginning of the revolution and it did not happen accidentally. Rather, it was a deliberate crime committed by the Syrian regime against the Kurds after Al-Hasakah census in 1962, in addition to ignoring the requests for exemption made by many mothers to grant their children citizenship. Only from the manner in which the Syrian regime deals with these two cases, we can confirm that we are facing a major challenge, and we are fully aware that we are putting forward long-term solutions, which may face rejection from some segments of Syrian society as well, not just from lawmakers and the Syrian regime. The work to grant the right of Syrian women to pass their nationality and descent must start immediately, in order to protect future generations from the risk of statelessness, and to ensure women’s access to all their rights and equality with men.
