Methodology T he research deals with the problem of statelessness in Syria, and the denial for Syrian women to grant Syrian nationality to their children, by studying the reasons that led to the increase in the number of registered and stateless persons in Syria. The research adopted a mixed method approach that includes collecting both quantitative and qualitative data and then merging the data. Research took place over eight months and included: ● Face-to-face interviews with victims. ● Questionnaires about society’s view of granting women their nationality and lineage. ● Dialogue sessions with women from within Syria. These procedures have resulted in a better understanding of statelessness, and of the conditions that women have experienced over the past years, which have led to the statelessness of their children. 11 In order to examine the problem in all its aspects and the roles played by each side of the Syrian context, which have already been determined based on the data set during the dialogues and questionnaires previously distributed, two main parties have been identified: Syrian civil society organizations and Syrian activists. To study each of the previously identified parties, special questionnaires were designed considering the sensitivity of the topic and targeted areas, and they were distributed electronically to ensure social distancing, as the last research was carried out during the period of the Corona epidemic (Covid-19). HUMANS WITHOUT RIGHTS The CSOs questionnaire included 60 Syrian organizations in Syria, Turkey, Lebanon, Germany and France, working in the following areas: ● Feminist organizations (women empowerment projects: economic, social, political, and relief). ● Organizations working on children’s rights (child health projects, education etc). ● Organizations implementing projects for women and children. ● Research and studies centers. As a result, 21 organizations responded.
