Despite significant progress, twenty-four countries still retain nationality laws that deny women the right to pass their citizenship to their children on an equal basis with men. Almost fifty countries prevent women from conferring nationality on their spouse on an equal basis with men. At their core, gender-discriminatory nationality laws undermine women’s status as equal citizens and their equality in the family, and are a root cause of statelessness. At the Global Summit, leading affected activists and UN agencies drew attention to wide-ranging human rights violations caused by this discrimination, which harms affected women, their children, and societies as a whole. States including Eswatini, Iraq, and Kiribati affirmed their commitment to achieve gender equality in their nationality laws. Representatives from Indonesia, Liberia, and Morocco shared the benefits of their country’s reforms to remove gender-discriminatory nationality law provisions, while the United States and Australia highlighted the importance of gender-equal nationality rights to global goals. Throughout the Global Summit, there was a clear recognition that the elimination of gender discrimination in nationality laws is crucial to gender equality, children’s rights and protection, ending statelessness and realizing the sustainable development goals.
