JOhn,

What if you couldn’t keep your nationality, or couldn’t provide nationality to your family members? If everyone is able to pass on their nationality and all its benefits to their children and spouse, families, communities, and economies will be stronger and more equal. That’s the future we’re fighting for.

We aren’t there yet.

A quarter of the world’s governments deny women equal nationality rights, preventing women from passing on, acquiring, changing, or keeping their nationality on an equal basis with men.

Discrimination in nationality laws reinforces stereotypical roles for both women and men, including the idea that a woman, once married or divorced, loses her independent identity.

It’s time to end discriminatory laws.

In Togo, the nationality code does not allow a Togolese woman to transfer her nationality to her foreign spouse on an equal basis with Togolese men. It also removes Togolese nationality from a naturalized Togolese woman if she divorces from her Togolese husband.

Enough is enough. Join us to call on Prime Minister Komi Sélom Klassou to make equality reality. Take action today.

In Solidarity
