Stateless Person

A stateless person is someone who is not recognized as a citizen by any country. This means they lack a legal nationality or passport from any nation, which can make it difficult to access basic rights like education, healthcare, employment, and travel. Statelessness often occurs due to outdated laws, discrimination, or historical conflicts. Without a national government to protect them, stateless individuals are vulnerable to persecution and hardship. Addressing statelessness involves legal recognition and reform to ensure such individuals can acquire citizenship and enjoy fundamental rights.
