CREATING SPACE FOR PROGRESS: KEY INITIATIVES TO DRIVE OUR SHARED AGENDA FORWARD Milestones for the statelessness field at the conference - Initiatives launched and announced: STATELESSNESS AND DIGNIFIED CITIZENSHIP COALITION - ASIA PACIFIC LAUNCH ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE GLOBAL STATELESSNESS FUND STATELESSNESS ASIA PACIFIC RESEARCH NETWORK GLOBAL MOVEMNET AGAINST STATLESSNESS The Global Movement Against Statelessness is a community of stateless people, activists and civil society allies dedicated to the eradication of statelessness, the achievement of equal nationality rights for all and the human rights of all stateless people. The Movement centres and is led by people directly impacted by statelessness, nationality deprivation and discriminatory nationality laws and works to increase solidarity in the field. It aims to bring the statelessness field closer together to strengthen collaboration and achieve positive change. THROUGH THE GLOBAL MOVEMENT WE CAN CHALLENGE AND TRANSFORM OURSELVES, TO DISRUPT HOW WE WORK, TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT STATELESS PEOPLE ARE THE LEADERS OF THE FIELD, THE PEOPLE WE NEED TO BE ACCOUNTABLE TO… FOR 75 YEARS, THE RIGHT TO NATIONALITY HAS BEEN SIDELINED. A BIG REASON FOR THIS IS THAT THE PEOPLE WHO FEEL THE DEPRIVATION OF THIS RIGHT MOST ACUTELY, HAVE BEEN EXCLUDED FROM THE DISCOURSE ON HOW TO ENSURE EVERYONE’S RIGHT TO NATIONALITY IS FULFILLED. THE GLOBAL MOVEMENT IS ABOUT CHANGING THAT.
