I live in Saudi Arabia, and I do not have any nationality, and the UNHCR cannot help me. I have a sister who cannot walk. She needs medical care. I need assistance in resettlement or any assistance. Thank you.

Statelessness and Climate Change Research in Europe

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 😊

Für Artikel Interview Partner:in gesucht

Liebe Community, ich bin Mascha und Teil des diesjährigen Jahrgangs des Mentoringprogramms der Neuen Deutschen Medienmacher:innen. Da es mir ein großes Anliegen ist staatenlose Menschen zu supporten, palästinensischen Stimmen Gehör zu verleihen und so meine Solidarität (auch als Jüdin) auszudrücken, würde ich sehr gerne einen Artikel schreiben, der all diese Komponenten bündelt. Daher würde ich mich sehr freuen, wenn eine Person, die ebenfalls diese und weitere Eigenschaften hat, sich bei mir meldet und wir uns im Rahmen des eignen Wohlbefindens austauschen könnten. Würde mich sehr freuen. <3

The STATEFREE Pod: Giving ‘Statelessness’ a Voice and PersonalityCommunity voices

What a Podcast offers for the Narrative of Statelessness written by @Thex , Statefree Community Author |  Reading time: 5min. For stateless people, feeling safe, equipped and empowered to talk about their own story isn’t something that goes without saying. Statelessness isn’t talked about very often in our society, and even when it does come up, it seems like only a select few have control over the narrative and often present statelessness in one-dimensional manners. Community-centered visibility is rare, leaving out important aspects and diversity within the lives of stateless individuals. Those thoughts, coupled with the natural self-protective reluctance when having to talk about something so personal and sensitive without a final say, created our wish to find a more understanding and self-led way of exchange. Through the Statefree Community, it also became clear that visibility and diverse representation isn’t just a request of a few, but a strong wish for a lot of stateless people
