Stateless-led network working on making a real difference
About us:
Apatride Network is run by stateless people for stateless people, dedicated to giving voice of our views, stories, and dreams of equal human rights. We live in Europe’s shadows, without equal access to political rights, freedom of movement, education, employment, privacy, and other basic rights.
We work to raise awareness about statelessness, clear up misconceptions therein, and empower stateless people as participants rather than mere objects of discussion. We provide lectures at universities and other relevant venues, publish academic and media articles, handle advocacy work, connect stateless individuals to each other as well as to legal aid, and take an active role in the leading initiatives on statelessness from local to global level. Our focus region is the European Union.

Stateless in the European Union
The European Union accounts 399,283 people that are “determined stateless or of undetermined nationality.“ Many have been born in Europe or have lived there their entire lives, being deprived of an equal right to nationality based on discrimination, political upheaval or bureaucratic inadequacies beyond own control. The number is a conservative estimate, as stateless people are difficult to account.

News and updates
Apatride Network is making more history, together with Rohingya Project Coalición por Venezuela and Save My Identity launching Blockchain for Human Rights initiative. The initiative aims to raise awareness on the much overlooked issue of a billion people lacking legal identification, and unaccountable others having inferior forms of identification. Such people have their human rights undermined. ![]()

Furthermore, the initiative will advocate for responsible use of digitalisation and blockchain-based solutions in identification, and long-term test and develop its own decentralized identification project. The success, safety, and justice of any decentralised identification project depends on its user base that needs this new technology most.
