Networking For Change 217 Another entry point relevant for several ENS members is children’s rights, including with regard to birth registration.18 However, particularly from a more global perspective, it is apparent that too often stateless populations or constituencies have not identified statelessness as their binding characteristic with regard to the problems confronting them. Therefore key to effectively engaging a broader spectrum of actors and resources is the adept framing of statelessness as part of other international discourses such as those on development and livelihood issues, for example access to education, healthcare or other services where stateless persons currently face discrimination. Other potential entry points for statelessness work are gender equality, political participation, human security and trafficking.19 The ENS membership spans a broad spectrum from large international NGOs to smaller grassroots organizations – encompassing advocacy and/or research focussed NGOs, academic institutions, legal advice agencies, frontline service providers, detention specialists and several prominent international law experts. Currently members vary in terms of their existing expertise and resources to work on statelessness. Some joined specifically because of the opportunities membership would provide to build their capacity. In contrast, others are more immediately equipped to contribute and to share their experience and expertise with less advanced members. This in itself represents a valuable networking function, and is consistent with ENS’s philosophy of seeking to mainstream statelessness and to build capacity of civil society actors to act as an effective catalyst for change. In this regard another success has been the visibility and awareness-raising impact achieved through the ENS blog, which features weekly pieces drawing attention to statelessness developments in Europe.20 Since the launch of its 18 19 20 effective policy solutions for a population which by definition lacks a country to be returned to, and hence pose an increasingly protracted problem the longer they are left without status and rights in the host state. At a global level this has also been a priority issue for Plan International, see Plan International ‘Count Every Child’ <http://plan-international.org/birthregistration/­ universal-birth-registration> accessed 22 August 2013;more recently there are also signs of interest from ‘Save the Children, see Save the Children ‘Pushing the Boundaries: A Guide to Increasing the Realisation of Children’s Civil Rights and Freedoms’ <http://resource centre.savethechildren.se/sites/default/files/documents/7261.pdf> accessed 22 August 2013.
