Ending Gender Discrimination in Nationality Laws
Gender discrimination remains written into nationality laws. This discrimination turns families into legal exceptions—blocking access to rights, security, and belonging.
The Campaign
The Global Campaign for Equal Nationality Rights mobilizes international action to advance law reform in the 24 countries that prevent mothers from conferring their nationality on their children on an equal basis with fathers, and in more than 40 countries that deny women equal nationality rights with men.
