Stateless-led answer to statelessness. Your journey is our journey.
About us:
Apatride Network is run by stateless people for stateless people, giving voice of our views, providing ground-up expertise on statelessness, and dreaming of equal human rights in the European Union. We raise awareness of statelessness, clear up misconceptions therein, and empower stateless people as participants rather than mere objects of discussion. Our work focuses on guest lectures at universities and other relevant venues, publication of academic and media articles, advocacy and legal assistance, training for lawyers, and leading impact projects that target statelessness barriers.

Stateless in the European Union
The European Union estimates 399,283 people that are “determined stateless or of undetermined nationality.“ Most are native Europeans, born and raised in Europe, being deprived of an equal right to nationality based on discrimination or bureaucratic inadequacies beyond own control. The number is a bare minimum estimate: reliable data and the visibility of the topic remains poor due to obstruction from state actors that cause statelessness, power imbalances, and lack of voice of the affected.

Also, today the founder of Apatride Network spoke at the CHS Alliance 5th General Assembly, emphasizing the need for better accountability in improving humanitarian and human rights work by connecting to refugee-led and stateless-led expertise on the ground. Without that expertise, there can be little hope of proper accountability or efficacy in those fields.
