JOhn,



Nationality is so much more than a passport.



Being a citizen of a country should mean you and your family are able to access education, healthcare, and other social benefits. It should mean that you and your spouse are able to get a job. It also means that your government is responsible for protecting and promoting you and your family’s human rights. In other words, it’s about your family being able to live safe, fearless, and free.



Despite this, gender discrimination in nationality laws around the world continues to leave families insecure and at risk of hardship.



Every family deserves to live safe, fearless, and free



In over 50 countries, from eSwatini to Bahrain, and Brunei to the United States, families face discrimination in nationality laws. Will you take 5 minutes to call on 5 governments to change their laws today?



✅ Ask eSwatini to amend their constitution to allow Swazi women to transfer her nationality to her children and foreign spouse on an equal basis with Swazi men <[link removed]>



✅ Ask Monaco to give mothers the same unconditional rights as fathers to pass on their nationality to their children. <[link removed]>



✅ Ask Brunei to allow a Bruneian woman to transfer her nationality to her children and foreign spouse on an equal basis with Bruneian men. <[link removed]>



✅ Ask the United States to allow unmarried U.S. citizen fathers to pass on their US citizenship to their children born of noncitizen mothers on an equal basis to women. <[link removed]>



✅ Ask Bahrain to allow Bahraini mothers to pass on their citizenship to their children unconditionally. <[link removed]>



Thank you for your continued support in calling out inequality in the law around the world.
