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.

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).
