Calling Bidun Women in Kuwait


A representative from Refugees International is in Kuwait and would like to meet with Bidun ("stateless" - no nationality) women to discuss their personal stories; life, obstacles, what it is like for them and their children to have no nationality in Kuwait.  It is extremely important that stateless people share their personal experiences so that others can understand the situation.  No one else can be their voice.

As you may know, RI has been instrumental in bringing the Bidun cause to global attention through their reporting and activism.  They have published numerous reports (check out here). 

Please pass the word to Bidun friends who can get in contact directly with the RI rep.  Contact e-mail is melanie@refintl.org
