Paragraph
Paragraph text
Citizenship is both about belonging to a group or community and about the rights and responsibilities associated with such membership. It is not only an identity, but also a practice whereby people are able to meaningfully participate in shaping their societies through the exercise of their citizenship rights. Citizenship rights are broad, inclusive, interdependent and indivisible and are tied to citizens' participation in the lives of their communities and the articulation of their agency, underpinned by the norms of dignity, equality and non-discrimination.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Rapporteur on violence against women, its causes and consequences
