In July 2025, the Global Movement Against Statelessness (GMAS) convened a powerful community conversation titled "Carrying Forward: A Cross Border Conversation”. Bringing together stateless activists, advocates and community members from different generations and regions, the event created a space for reflection, learning and solidarity rooted in lived experience. 

As part of the Global Statelessness Fund (GSF) Accompaniment Program, GMAS has been proud to contribute to a collaborative effort aimed at strengthening the leadership, resilience, and long-term sustainability of organisations led by people directly affected by statelessness and discriminatory nationality laws. The Accompaniment Program complements GSF’s flexible grantmaking by providing tailored support, peer learning opportunities and capacity strengthening initiatives that respond to the priorities identified by grantee partners themselves.

There is a moment that many stateless people know well. 

It comes when someone asks for a passport, a birth certificate, a national ID card, or proof of nationality. For most people, these are routine documents, bureaucratic details of modern life. For a stateless person, that simple request can unravel into a conversation far more complicated than anyone expects. 

In November 2025, the Global Movement Against Statelessness (GMAS) contributed to a report by SALAM for Democracy and Human Rights titled “Kuwait: Stateless by Decree - End Kuwait's Harmful Citizenship Stripping Crisis.” 

The report was published amid an unprecedented citizenship-stripping campaign in Kuwait. Since September 2024, the Kuwaiti government has reportedly revoked the citizenship of up to 200,000 people. Those affected include women who acquired citizenship through marriage to Kuwaiti nationals, their children and descendants, as well as perceived political opponents. As a result many have been rendered stateless, placed at risk of statelessness, or compelled to seek the restoration of a previously held nationality that they had renounced in order to comply with Kuwait's prohibition on dual citizenship. 

In June 2026, the Global Movement Against Statelessness in collaboration with regional statelessness networks - the Pan African Nationality Network (PANN), the Southern African Nationality Network (SANN), the Eastern African Nationality Network (EANN), the European Network on Statelessness (ENS), the Americas Network on Nationality and Statelessness (REDANA), and the Statelessness and Dignified Citizenship Coalition - Asia Pacific (SDCC-AP) - took participants inside the “black box” of digital ID.

At the Global Refugee Forum Progress Review in December 2025, the Global Movement Against Statelessness convened a dynamic participatory workshop titled “Beyond Border, Building Power Together: Stateless and Refugee Movements in Solidarity”. The session brought together GMAS and refugee-led organizations, activist sand allies to explore how stronger collaboration can advance the rights and inclusion of communities affected by statelessness, displacement and migration.
