565,900 stateless individuals gained citizenship through the UN's #IBelong campaign since 2014, despite ongoing challenges.
The United Nations reports that over 565,900 stateless individuals have gained citizenship since the 2014 launch of its #IBelong campaign, aimed at addressing the human rights violation of statelessness. While some progress has been made, including legal reforms in 13 countries and increased participation in UN conventions, the UNHCR emphasizes that significant challenges remain in securing rights for millions still living without nationality. A high-level meeting on this issue is forthcoming.
