Kuwait revokes citizenship for over 37,000, mostly women, leaving them stateless.

Kuwait has revoked citizenship for over 37,000 people, mostly women, since August, leaving them stateless. The move, part of the emir's reformist agenda, aims to restrict nationality to those with blood ties to Kuwait, potentially shrinking the electorate. The campaign targets naturalized citizens, particularly those who gained citizenship through marriage, and those with dual nationalities or fraudulent citizenship.
