COVID-19 and Statelessness
In the context of a global pandemic, stateless persons are more vulnerable than ever. Without nationality, stateless persons are often denied access to healthcare, and a range of other social welfare services. With an estimated 15 million stateless persons worldwide, an effective response must be inclusive. This is the only way to bring the virus under control.
ISI is committed to protecting the rights of stateless persons during this time of crisis. On this page you can find out how ISI and its partners are responding to COVID-19, and how COVID-19 is affecting stateless persons and other vulnerable groups. We will also provide updates on how stateless populations are being affected, new law and policy measures, and civil society initiatives.
