Facts & Research

 At this year’s Statelessness & Innovation: Building Power Through Collective Action conference, one question echoed through the auditorium: What does protection look like when it truly works — and who is responsible for making it happen?The session “From Recognition to Rights: The Future of Statelessness Protection in Europe” brought together practitioners, advocates, community members, and institutional actors from Germany, the Netherlands, Czechia, and across Europe. What emerged was not just a comparative overview of systems, but a sharper understanding of why so many people remain unprotected — and what it will take to change that. The Centra

Dear Statefree-Community, we are four Master's students at the University of Hamburg, majoring in Criminology and Sociology. As part of a research project with the working title: “Experiences of Statelessness Among Palestinians in Germany,” we are investigating the experiences of individuals of Palestinian origin living in Germany regarding statelessness.With our study we hope to contribute to a scientific topic that is still significantly underrepresented in society as well as in academia and, in our opinion, deserves more attention.For our study, we are looking for interview partners who live in Germany and are affected by statelessness due to their Palestinian origin.  Who we are looking forWe are interested in perspectives from people who are officially considered 'stateless' (XXA) as well as from people whose nationality is regarded as 'unresolved' (XXX) by the German authorities.

Dear Readers of the Statefree Community,My name is Ronja Pröllochs, I am studying Social Work and Language, History and Cultures of the Middle East and I am currently writing / working on my bachelor thesis on the topic of statelessness, since I worked to citizenship before and then stumbled upon this as I would say human rights problem. Since I would ideally be working on filmography, I wanted to ask if there are people without citizenship in the community who could imagine being interviewed and (potentially) filmed, if not though that would also be more than okay. I would be happy to hear from you either way. In the interviews, I would like to ask questions about the circumstances and feelings of people who are de facto or de jure stateless in order to create empathy and a greater awareness of the issue.I will be happy to answer any further questions you may have.I would be delighted to hear from youYours sincerelyRonja Pröllochs

Hello everyone!My name is Cecilia and I am a PhD researcher at the University of Sussex, UK. My research focuses on the identification of stateless asylum seekers in Germany, Italy, and Switzerland. It aims to shed light on the multiple challenges faced by stateless persons applying for international protection in Europe and to propose some avenues for improvement.For the purpose of my research, I am interviewing stateless persons/persons at risk of statelessness who have gone through the asylum procedure in the three countries (including persons who are still in the procedure, recognized refugees, persons who have been granted some other form of protection, persons whose asylum application was rejected and have not been granted any form of protection).If you are stateless/at risk of statelessness and have applied for asylum in

Hi everyone, Statefree’s partner Apatride Network is still looking to interview more stateless people, refugees and other forcibly displaced people about their (our) experiences in accessing banking and other financial services. The interviews are anonymous and very simple. We will use the valuable information of these experiences in our cooperation with several international law firms, to draft a short report that we will in turn use to contact good and bad practices financial actors. Success of this project means better financial inclusion for the most vulnerable populations. Please email me if you would like to contribute or if you know anyone who would, aleksejs@apatride.eu

SVR Policy Brief: Life without a passport: The situation of stateless people in GermanyThe Expert Council on Integration and Migration (Sachverständigenrat) has published a policy brief about statelessness in Germany. It confirms Statefree’s advocacy and visibility work and shows that stateless people are confronted with multiple barriers to participation and rights. The policy brief confirms that Germany is currently failing to meet its obligations under international conventions and political change is necessary. Important numbers are highlighted: 16% of people with a recognized stateless status and 32% of people with a so-called undetermined nationality were born in Germany. After Syria, Germany is the second most fr

Hi everyone! I was super excited to find this community so thanks for having me.My name is Sophie and I am currently studying at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, though am from New Zealand. I am currently working on my Master’s thesis on the topic of climate change and statelessness in Europe. Essentially, I want to look at how stateless people in Europe have been and will continue to be affected by climate change. If anyone knows any organisations/people working in the civil society space with stateless people (particularly in Italy, as I think this will be my focus) I would be glad to hear about it!Feel free to send me a message to chat as well 😊

Hi, my name is Jessie (she/her) and I am a community ally, living in the UK. I am a trainee clinical psychologist, working in the national healthcare service and at University College London. My research team and I are running a project where we are hoping to speak with people living in the UK who are part of the statefree community and considered stateless by the UK government (or have been in the past), to understand how this has influenced their well-being or mental health. The project came about from working in mental health services and hearing from people who have lived experiences of statelessness.I’ve joined here as an ally and hope to just listen and learn, thank you for having me!
