The Syrian Initiative to Combat Statelessness society is working on. This includes the issue of stateless children and the right of women to confer nationality and lineage to their children. Through our research that lasted for more than three years, we found that these two issues were not taken seriously by the organizations, which impeded any solutions being worked on despite the crisis of statelessness worsening during the last nine years. The same also applies to studies and research. Despite the large number of studies that dealt with the importance of involving women in the peace and security process and transitional processes - which is extremely important - women still cannot fully fulfill their role unless they have full access to their rights; the most important of which is their right to grant their lineage and nationality to their children. When considering the research and studies issued during the last nine years, we find that there is a failure to address and discuss this issue, or to offer appropriate solutions to solve the problem of children who are not registered, and women’s right to grant nationality and lineage to their children. 46 Civil society organizations questionnaire To understand the nature of civil society organizations’ work and their role in achieving the restoration of women’s right to confer their nationality and lineage to their children, and the need to register stateless children, we prepared a questionnaire that included 60 Syrian organizations inside Syria, Turkey, Lebanon, Germany and France, working on the following topics: - Feminist organizations (women empowerment projects - economic, social, political, and relief). - Organizations working in the field of child rights (child health projects, education etc). - Organizations implementing projects for women and children. - Research and studies centers. The response was not satisfying, as 25 organizations refused to answer the questionnaire. They justified their refusal by stating that they are not specialized in issues related to women, even though these organizations are implementing projects related to women and children. | 14 organizations refused to respond completely without explanation. | 21 organizations fully responded to the questionnaire.
