Media impact of the campaign
UNHCR published a photobook on the progress
in the Americas towards the eradication of
statelessness and the way forward.
From 20 to 25 May, the UN High Commissioner
for Refugees visited Myanmar. A primary focus
of the mission was addressing statelessness in
Myanmar and providing a pathway to citizenship
for the stateless Rohingya in line with the
recommendations of the Rakhine Advisory
Commission. The visit generated significant national
and international media coverage.
On 25 April and 2 May, UNHCR organized
information sessions on statelessness in Khartoum,
Sudan for journalists and media professionals to
raise awareness on the need for law reform and
accession to the statelessness conventions. A
number of the participants have since written articles
related to statelessness, including on the gender
discriminatory provisions in Sudan’s nationality law.
