Do you know what a stateless person is?
Someone where the country they are from doesn't recognize them as a citizen, often due to political or religious reasons.
Today in the world there are around 10 MILLION stateless people. People that don’t have the right to have a birth certificate, go to a regular school, hospital or have a death certificate.
In this episode of The Belonging Project Podcast, we talk with Maha Mamo. Maha was one of them, her story is an example of #resilience #determinationand #perseverance. After so many attempts, she found a new home in Brazil and at 26 years old, she got her first official document and a citizenship. Maha Mamo is now a spokesperson for the UN #IBelong campaign in order to contribute to eradicating statelessness worldwide by changing the laws and giving more visibility.
