Gender Discrimination in Nepal and How Statelessness Hampers Identity Formation

Documents

Description: The paper argues that the effect of holding a citizenship expands beyond a formal individual-state relation. The paper illustrates that statelessness impacts the identity formation of affected persons through several internal and external factors. Thereby, this article focuses from one angle on women who are denied the ability to pass their citizenship on to their children without the support of their husbands or other male relatives; and from another angle it talks about girls and women who are rendered stateless as a result of discrimination.
