No child chooses to be stateless

Every child belongs – to this world, to a place and to a community – and this should be recognised through the enjoyment of a nationality. Regretfully, children are still being born in Europe without a nationality. ENS is running a region-wide campaign #StatelessKids to raise awareness and promote measures to ensure that all children born in Europe or to European parents outside the region can in practice realise their right to a nationality.

This meeting will include presentations on the role of key stakeholders in addressing childhood statelessness and responses from key European Parliamentarians.

Please RSVP to Rachel Sheppard at jean.lambert@europarl.europa.eu by 24 November. If you need an access badge to enter the parliament, please include your full name, date of birth, nationality, ID number and type of document (passport/ID card)
