The UNHCR #IBelong Campaign has been recognized with an Honorable Mention for its decade-long global movement to end statelessness for millions of people. Chiara Cardoletti, UNHCR Representative to Italy, the Holy See, and San Marino, and Maha Mamo, #IBelong Campaign representative, received the recognition.
“I was stateless for 30 years of my life. Statelessness is an invisible cage. You have dreams, potential, and so much to give, yet you’re deprived of basic rights: education, healthcare, and the freedom to move. UNCHR’s #IBelong Campaign gave me identity, nationality, and a home,” said #IBelong Campaign representative Maha Mamo.

“We can all be heroes of tomorrow. Let’s not be frozen by the weight of inequality. Let’s be moved by the power of possibility. Because the future is not something we inherit — it’s something we shape together.”
— Marina Ponti, Global Director, UN SDG Action Campaign
