It does not make sense not to allow children to have their mother’s citizenship. In Tunisia, this right was finally granted, but it needs the father’s approval. Is that normal? Citizenship is a right that every citizen, male or/female, gives his/her children.

Despite all that has been accomplished to advance women’s human rights, far too many laws and policies reflect the stubborn persistence of gender injustice. One such law prevents Arab and Iranian women from conferring nationality on their children or foreign-born husbands. This is a denial of women’s political rights of citizenship — which is why I support the WLP’s campaign.

Women are no different or any less than men and I support your struggle against discrimination in your society. Keep the struggle going. Peace.

No nation can claim being civilized if it does not ensure social justice for its female population.

The Cameroonian civil society, especially the Cameroonian Association of Female Jurists, and other feminist organisations, appeals for the non violation of the rights of women. They should be given equal opportunities like other women in the world. They are human beings and their rights as human rights need promotion and protection.

Citizenship is the first step to give women of all countries the power to chose their lives, improve the lives of their families and the politics of their countries.
There will be no justice before women have citizenship.

When women, just like men can pick what to eat, where to work or who to be with, there is no problem with women having the same human-created rights as men. If the human-created rights are not given to women, then they should not be given to men.
