Displacement, Statelessness and Questions of Gender Equality under the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women

This paper centres on two main substantive parts: one on displacement and gender equality, the other on the right to a nationality, questions of statelessness and gender equality. These parts explain the many facets of the gender dimensions of and influences on displacement and statelessness, drawing out the impact of gender inequality on women’s access to and enjoyment of their human rights in these contexts and identifying relevant CEDAW provisions at issue and how they apply.
