SUMMARY:Webinar | Statelessness: A Global\, a Canadian\, and a Human Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Statelessness is an issue which is not often discussed and can be overlooked. It affects approximately 10 million people globally. Statelessness can occur when individuals lack nationality or citizenship from and country\, even if they were born there. As a result\, stateless individuals are not recognized as citizens by any Government\, leading to severe hardships\, discrimination\, and systemic difficulties and that many remain unaware of. \nWe invite you to join us on Friday\, November 8th\, from 10am to 11:30am via Zoom for our event\, Statelessness: A Global\, a Canadian\, and a Human Perspective. \nEsteemed panelists Deny Dobobrov\, Andrew Griffith\, and Jamie Chai Yun Liew will explore this multifaceted issue\, drawing on their expertise and firsthand experiences. \nDeny Dobobrov\, Director of International Relations for the World Roma Federation and an Accredited UN Representative\, will speak to the global aspects of statelessness through the experiences of the Roma people\, who have endured generations of discrimination and injustice. In Canada\, statelessness is also a pressing concern. \nAndrew Griffith\, author\, multiculturalism expert\, and former Director General for Citizenship and Multiculturalism\, will share insights from his research\, highlighting the statistics and experiences of stateless individuals within various immigrant communities across the country. \nFinally\, Jamie Chai Yun Liew\, a lawyer\, professor\, and author\, will shed light on the human aspects of statelessness.
