The Nepali NGO Forum for Women Law and Development, together with ‘Network of Persons Affected by Citizenship’, organized a photo exhibition in Kathmandu, Nepal, from 4 to 7 February called “My Womb, Whose Child”. The exhibition showcases photos and stories of 52 persons who have not been able to obtain citizenship. The photo exhibition was organized as part of an advocacy effort to bring about positive reforms in the Citizenship Act of Nepal, which is currently under discussion in parliament. In the United Kingdom, UNHCR supported a Nowhere People exhibition on statelessness at the Migration Museum in London. On 25 March, UNHCR hosted a ‘Museum Lates’ drinks reception where a stateless person, as well as the Migration Museum Curator, the Director of the European Network on Statelessness, and the UNHCR Representative to the UK discussed the impact of statelessness on people in the UK and in the wider world. A number of events took place in West Africa to celebrate the 4th anniversary of the Abidjan Declaration on the Eradication of Statelessness. On 2 March, in Côte d’Ivoire, UNHCR and government authorities hosted a large event, which included an information session featuring a puppet show on statelessness. During the month of February, UNHCR published a number of short videos on statelessness on UNHCR Niger’s Twitter profile.
