Welcome.
We are building community for stateless people and their allies
Statelessness
Millions of people on earth don’t have a nationality. They don’t belong to any country and are not recognized as a citizen by any state. Those individuals are referred to as stateless people.
Community
A community for stateless people and their allies
Statelessness is a global issue. Still, the topic remains invisible and intransparent. Not only to the public eye, but also to those who are affected by it.
Statefree.world aims to provide a space in which statelessness can finally become visible. In this space those affected by statelessness and those working on statelessness can finally build community. A community in which we share stories, discuss current developments and start a global conversation to co-create the truth about what it means to be stateless in today’s world.
About Us
From a stateless person for stateless people
Hi, my name is Christiana. I am one out of many stateless people.
A while ago I decided to build www.statefree.world. A website which allows stateless people to connect to each other and to those who are fighting to end statelessness.
The goal is to build community and provide a space for stories, experiences and fruitful exchange around the topic of statelessness.
Community
A community for everyone
We care to provide a space in which all experiences and perspectives are heard and valued. While people affected by statelessness are at the core of the community, we invite everyone who considers themselves an ally to join the conversation.

Stuck in Morocco
February 26th, 2019 – that was the day I left Munich for a two week vacation in Morocco.
A trip which turned into a hurtful experience, confronting me with the reality I needed to face about statelessness. Furthermore, a trip which fueled my desire to create change and build something that would allow us to move one step further towards a level of shared understanding and information around statelessness.
