The Syrian Initiative to Combat Statelessness
with their families in the “Al-Hol” camp29.
| Participants› opinion on the right of
women to grant citizenship:
Opinions were divided between supporters and opponents of the right to
grant citizenship. All participants in the city of al-Bab supported this right
as it is a basic component of women’s rights, stating that they cannot be
effective in their community if they do not have it just like men do. Also, it
is considered the best solution for children without nationality. Meanwhile
the vast majority of participants in Raqqa city are opposed to this right, as,
according to their opinion, it is against customs and traditions and may
lead to many problems, including loss of lineages and the spread of pregnancy without marriage.
