The African Union Protocol on the Right to a Nationality and the Eradication of Statelessness in Africa is a progressive normative framework for ensuring the respect for the right to a nationality and eradication of statelessness in Africa.
However, how responsive is the Protocol to certain gender aspects of nationality and statelessness?
Join us and our friends at @equalitynow as we examine the Gender Responsiveness of the Protocol.

Ending statelessness is not the work of one organisation or one community. Lasting change comes from building movements and coalitions across lived experience, civil society, lawyers, govts, regional institutions & allies.

The African human rights system has a critical role to play in protecting the right to nationality.
Join us for this discussion at the NGO Forum in Dakar!
#ACHPR89 #RatifyR2NAfrica #EndStatelessness
Africa has an opportunity to ensure that nationality is never used a boundary between those whose rights are protected and those left visible.

“The person must come before the process”
Animu Athiei reminds us that loved experience is expertise and responses to statelessness must bring together legal action, protection, psychosocial support, advocacy, and solidarity.
