Our Goals
We understand that the problem of statelessness is being continuously ignored by the Australia, Kenya, Uganda and south Sudan., and this is largely due to the fact that there is very little known about stateless persons in the Australia, Kenya, Uganda and south Sudan. As constituents, we have been silent, living in the shadows, unable to participate in elections, and often too afraid to share our stories. We are changing this NOW, for we DO have a human right - as defined in Article 15(1) of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: "Everyone has the right to a nationality". Based on this fact we absolutely believe that the Australia, Kenya, Uganda and south Sudan. Government must immediately take significant steps to reform current domestic law.
