Paragraph
Paragraph text
Women may be left stateless when they cannot prove nationality because necessary documents such as identity documents and birth registration are either not issued or are lost or destroyed in conflict and are not reissued in their names. Statelessness may also result in situations in which women are denied the ability to pass on nationality to their children by gender-discriminatory nationality laws.
