Identifying and Addressing Statelessness in the Refugee Context

Many frontline refugee practitioners have limited awareness of statelessness or how to identify or adequately assist stateless persons with issues relating to lack of nationality.

The Stateless Journeys campaign and website was launched by ENS in late 2022, to build awareness around how statelessness plays out in refugee communities. We are running a series of short webinars from March to May 2023 that will offer an introduction to refugee practitioners and build awareness around addressing statelessness.
