Discrimination based on minority status is often a leading cause of statelessness. For example, the Rohingya minority group in Myanmar has faced statelessness for decades. More than 75% of the world's known stateless populations are members of minority groups. Minorities and other disadvantaged groups face additional challenges as a result of statelessness. In particular, women are further marginalised by gender-based discrimination in the acquisition, change, or retention of nationality. There are also a number of countries that do not allow women to confer their nationality on their children. This is especially troubling given how important nationality is to the full and equal exercise of fundamental human rights. So in short, human rights provide not just guidance but also an important blueprint for everyone, including governments, to address longstanding discrimination issues through meaningful partnerships with affected communities. The 30th anniversary of the Declaration is really an ideal opportunity for us to review, rethink, and reform how we can create a better and more inclusive world for everyone.
