Grassroots mobilization organized by the Lebanese-based Collective for Research and Training on Development-Action (CRTD.A) and attended by families campaigning for the equal treatment of women and men in nationality legislation. © CRTD.A Given the synergies in the various national NGOs’ common interests and goals, the Gender and Citizenship Initiative funded two phases of the Arab Women’s Right to Nationality Campaign’s work, the first from 20022004 and the second in 2006-2008. The first phase allowed for national NGOs in the coalition to conduct research and analysis on gender inequality in citizenship matters – both in law and in practice – in their respective countries. This led to the publication of a synthesis report in 2004.13 Against the backdrop of this baseline research, the second phase of the project focused on elaborating advocacy strategies at both the country and regional levels to achieve nationality law reform. Support for the Arab Women’s Right to Nationality Campaign contributed to the development of a dynamic coalition working across Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia and Yemen, with more limited outreach in other States. The Campaign has fostered the sharing of information on the challenges faced in each country and strategies to overcome them, while garnering support for efforts at the national level. Coalition members have developed country-specific legal-reform initiatives, undertaking activities promoting policy debate and coalition-building with national parliamentarians, unions and lawyers. The organizations have submitted shadow reports to the CEDAW Committee to highlight inequality in national laws, thereby increasing pressure through this international body. The Campaign also appealed to the Arab League to promote nationality law reform at the regional inter-governmental level. 13 7 The synthesis report by CRTD.A, Denial of Nationality: the Case of Arab Women (February 2004), is available at: http://goo.gl/1LqNZk CAMPAIGN TO END STATELESSNESS WITHIN 10 YE ARS
