Gender-Equal Nationality Laws Support Sustainable Development

Gender discrimination in nationality laws undermines women’s equal citizenship and sustainable development. In twenty-four countries women are denied the right to pass their nationality to their own child on an equal basis with men. In over forty countries women are denied the equal right to pass their nationality to a noncitizen spouse. Those impacted by gender discrimination in nationality laws often face obstacles in accessing education, healthcare, employment, property rights, inheritance, and freedom of movement. They may even be rendered stateless. These discriminatory nationality laws are holding countries back and contributing to poverty. Join us in working to end gender discrimination in nationality laws once and for all. Building equitable societies that embrace equal nationality rights for women and men benefits all of us.
