Being stateless involves having no country to call home or claim citizenship. In other words, to be stateless is to have no legal identity. Without a state or home, millions are without rights, basic services such as education, and legal protections. The stateless often lack official papers which limits mobility, work, and personal freedoms. Stateless persons are found all around the world and are often from racial, ethnic and religious minority groups, such as the Rohingya in Myanmar or Roma in Europe. One third of the stateless are children.
