@unwomengeneva @UKMissionGeneva @ENStatelessness @AdriQuinonesG @NetworkSouthern @refugee_gender @EQL_Nationality @nationality4all It is incumbent on UNHCR, Host country and visa-authorities: if impacted participation at the GRF is truly valued, then you must enable it. Until visa processes are accessible for the most affected, every empty chair will remain a voice and community waiting to be let in.

Ending Gender-Based Violence Requires Equal Citizenship. Equal Citizenship Requires Equal Nationality Laws. #16Days #HumanRightsDay Read more: https://t.co/yy9Zfh37ej

The justice system is supposed to protect everyone. But when nationality laws discriminate, they create a class of people who cannot equally access protection. A law that denies equal nationality rights is a law that enables violence to continue unpunished #16Days #HumanRightsDay

Education is one of the most powerful tools against gender-based violence. Gender-discriminatory nationality laws don't just limit women's opportunities, they impede empowerment opportunities that protect against GBV. #16DaysOfActivism

Human traffickers target the vulnerable. Discriminatory nationality laws create vulnerability by denying equal access to citizenship. #16Days

No citizenship can often mean no access to formal employment. Informal employment = Increased risk of abuse & harassment at work. #16DaysOfActivism #GBV

A discriminatory nationality law doesn't just affect one generation, it steals futures. #16Days #16DaysOfActivism #GBV #ChildMarriage

40+ countries have gender-discriminatory nationality laws. GBV is rooted in women’s inequality across social, political, civil & economic life. While changes to social norms & practices to uphold women’s equality are needed, legal equality is essential to addressing GBV. #16Days
