We’re hugely grateful to all of our wonderful speakers from last week’s #StatelessJourneys campaign launch. Thank you for supporting this work and for demonstrating your commitment to fix protection gaps for #stateless refugees in Europe.

Hear from each of them below. 🧵
The first panel brough together high-level representatives and officials from European institutions to discuss why Europe must act now to better protect stateless refugees.
.@GillianTriggs Assistant High Commissioner @Refugees highlighted the need to maintain strong focus on #statelessness and build new partnerships in the next phase of the fight to eradicate #statelessness. Thanks Gillian for the ongoing strong collaboration.
.@CBukalo founder of @statefree_world described key protection gaps for stateless refugees in Germany, explaining where govts need to pay attention & take action. She also shared some of the progress made by Statefree. Thank you Christiana!
.@AAlonsoMarcos Ambassador to the EU @UeEspana explained why Spain has played a progressive leadership role on statelessness and shared what Spain’s priorities are likely to be during its EU presidency. Thank you Marcos for your insights.
.@JFLopezAguilar Chair of @EP_Justice highlighted past action by @Europarl_EN on statelessness but emphasised the need for the EU to do more to fix this "blind spot" & to mainstream the issue through the Asylum & Migration Pact, child rights, anti-discrimination & other policy.
Thanks to @estherpozovera of @EUHomeAffairs for sharing what the European Commission is doing to promote the protection and integration of #stateless refugees, including in their response to war in Ukraine and through the Asylum & Migration Pact.

We’re marking our 10th anniversary this year! 🥳
It’s hard to capture the last ten years in a Twitter thread, but here goes nothing... Our journey in 15 tweets. 👇🧵
It’s 10 years since a group of 6 orgs came together to establish ENS.
A decade later we now have 170+ members in 41 countries.
We also have hundreds of partners & thousands of supporters who are all part of our journey seeking to end #statelessness statelessness.eu/about/members
In 2013 we published our first publication – a guide on statelessness determination procedures providing practical support to states wanting to do more to address the issue. Fast-forward to 2022, our website now includes over 150 publications & 450+ blogs statelessness.eu/updates

Here's a situation update from the ground on issues facing #stateless people trapped by the conflict in Ukraine.
statelessness.eu/updates/blog/a…

🧵[THREAD] Main concerns raised by our Ukrainian member @R2Protection [1/9]
Number of #stateless people prior to conflict was relatively high.
Low estimate puts it at 35,000, but likely much higher including those at risk of statelessness due to lack of documents: eg. 40-80,000 Roma, large % of children born in Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk. [2/9]
Most stateless people assisted by @R2protection have not been displaced so far. Only 24 (17%) of the 138 people R2P has been able to reach so far have fled in search of safer settlements. Only 6 of those have crossed the Ukrainian border and flee to EU countries. [3/9]
