Stateless Rights Collective

Voices that inspire, stories that connect! ✨
We are thrilled to announce that the Stateless Rights Collective (SRC) will be a core part of the upcoming Hear Here! event. Speakers from our collective will take the stage to share their powerful and inspiring journeys of resilience, identity, and belonging.

🗓️ Date: June 20
📍 Location: Melkweg Amsterdam

Hear Here! is more than just an event; it’s a dedicated space for human connection, storytelling, and celebrating shared experiences. Our speakers will offer unique insights into displacement, rebuilding, and the strength found in community, bringing often-overlooked voices to the forefront.
Beyond the main stage, you’ll get to engage in interactive activities like the Connection Tree and reflective dialogue designed to build empathy and shared dreams.

Organized by ASKV in collaboration with individuals with lived experiences of migration and displacement.

Come out, support our speakers, and let’s make it an unforgettable evening of dialogue and understanding. See you there! 🤝🖤

Imagine a world with open gates, but you lack the only key to pass through: identity.
Stateless people are millions of humans whom no country recognizes as 'citizens'. They are not just numbers in statistics; they are children who cannot enroll in school, parents who cannot open bank accounts for medical treatment and youth who often cannot travel, vote or even marry legally.

Lacking nationality often means lacking access to healthcare, education and legal employment. It is a state of 'shadows' where a person exists physically but is officially non-existent in the system.

Yet, their story isn't just about lost rights; it's also about resilience. Many resist daily, keeping hope alive to find a place where human existence belongs naturally.

Remembering this group reminds us that nationality is not just a piece of paper; it is the bridge between a human being and their dignity and fundamental rights.

A mother’s love knows no borders, but unfortunately, many laws still do. 🥲
This Mother’s Day, we honor the resilient women in the stateless community. In over 20 countries, mothers are still denied the equal right to pass their nationality to their children which creates a life of invisibility for the next generation. ✨

At Stateless Rights Collective, we stand with every mother fighting for her child’s right to belong. Identity is a birthright, and a mother’s voice should be enough to secure it. 💗🌷

Last week, members of the "Stateless Rights Collective", were present in the Senate to share their lived experiences and urge policymakers to refrain from criminalizing unlawful residence.

For stateless and undocumented individuals, this decision extends beyond legislative change. 𝐈𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 & 𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐝𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. 🏥📚🛡️

In reaching this decision, the Senate has affirmed the 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐝𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲.

This outcome follows sustained efforts over recent months, including public demonstrations, dialogue with Members of Parliament, and widespread organizational engagement. 𝐖𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭. 🤝🧡

While this development marks important progress, significant concerns remain. The implementation of the “𝐭𝐰𝐨-𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐬 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦," alongside broader European migration policies, continues to pose risks to the rights & futures of many individuals seeking protection.

Yesterday, SRC members went to the Senate and spoke with politicians who will vote next week on the new & strict asylum laws.
They spoke out against the proposed laws, calling them inhumane, unjust and unworkable. They argued that everyone deserves a dignified life and warned that the measures would criminalize people without residence papers including families, elderly individuals and long-term contributors to society preventing them from participating in daily life.
The laws would be especially harmful to "Stateless" people living in the Netherlands, increasing fear of detention and making it harder for them to prove their status or pursue legal procedures.
The visit to the Senate was a part of the campaign .nl

Honored to be recognized as a top nominee for the Statelessness Impact Award (SIA) by .network ✨

This moment reflects the power of stateless-led advocacy and strengthens our commitment to fight for rights, recognition and systemic change.
A huge Congratulations to for her great achievement & our fellow nominee ._elvis_berisa for his efforts in advancing justice for stateless communities.
Grateful to stand alongside inspiring changemakers.

Imagine existing , but nowhere officially belonging.

In the Netherlands, one of the biggest obstacles stateless people face is simply being recognized. Without nationality, access to basic rights becomes a daily struggle from education and healthcare to stable work.

A fundamental right many take for granted?
👉 The right to a nationality.
Without it, something as simple as proving who you are or where you belong becomes nearly impossible.

Now ask yourself:
What would life look like if no country legally acknowledged your existence ?

Statelessness isn’t just a legal gap, it’s a human one.
