It is crucial to mentor, nurture, and support young and emerging leaders and activists. We need to invest in identifying and developing the skills, connections and capacities of the new generation of leaders and activists who will drive the change agenda. Spaces such as the Global Movement Against Statelessness will play an essential role in this regard. One size does not fit all to create change. Each national context and sometimes each statelessness problem within the same national context requires a distinct approach and strategy to address the problem. National and local groups need to have a more prominent role in determining the right approach to addressing statelessness in their respective contexts because ultimately change happens at the national level. Creative, innovative, and multidisciplinary approaches must be used to pursue change. We need to think beyond conventional forms of advocacy and learn from other social movements. In particular, we need to build the skills and strategies and seek collaborations to more effectively use the arts, storytelling and social media as key advocacy tools for change. Further, building solidarity with other social justice movements and pursuing intersectional approaches to achieve change, is crucial. The importance of reflexivity. It is important for us to constantly reflect on our work, the change we are helping to create, the ways in which we are helping achieve it, and to share these reflections and learnings. Creating the space for such sharing builds knowledge and solidarity as essential ingredients to change. “ The initial change must begin from the ground up, which will impact the work we do as we go on. Personally, as someone who works with children, I think the way to change lies in working with children. Children represent the future generations, who will shape the future. Instilling values of humanity, ethics, compassion and love in them, and having them grow up with principles, will have a profound impact on what the future holds.” Tahera Hasan We should constantly revisit the existing international framework related to statelessness, and ask how it can be improved so that it can respond to the demand for equal rights, dignity and justice. Strengthening the implementation of the right to nationality through enhancing awareness of related international law norms and principles, is essential. The creation of a new UN Special Procedure on the Right to Nationality and Statelessness may be an important step in this regard. Further, we need to continue to promote stronger, human rights based interpretations and applications of the UN Statelessness Conventions. The ambiguity surrounding legal identity and statelessness should be addressed, in accordance with key international legal norms including the right to nationality, equality before the law and freedom from discrimination.
