The exact number of stateless people is not known, but UNHCR estimates that there are at least 10 million people globally – of which approximately one third are children.
Statelessness may occur for a variety of reasons, including discrimination against particular ethnic or religious groups or on the basis of gender; the emergence of new States and transfers between existing States; and conflict of nationality laws.
Statelessness is often the product of policies that aim to exclude people deemed to be outsiders, notwithstanding their deep ties to a particular country. For example, more than one million people in Myanmar’s Rakhine state are stateless on the basis of the current citizenship law, which provides that only members of certain ethnic groups are eligible for citizenship.

The Global Hunger Index (GHI) is a tool designed to comprehensively measure and track hunger at the global, regional, and national levels. The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) calculates GHI scores each year to assess progress and setbacks in combating hunger. The GHI is designed to raise awareness and understanding of the struggle against hunger, provide a means to compare the levels of hunger between countries and regions, and call attention to the areas of the world in greatest need of additional resources to eliminate hunger.
Every year, estimated 275 million children around the world are victims and witnesses of assault and abuse towards their mothers. These traumas can lead to serious physical and mental effects for the children.

December 8, 2017 - By Ignacio Torres – “Dad, stop hitting my mum!” “No, leave her alone! She’s my mum!” “Let her go. Don’t hurt her!” These are not made-up phrases. They are desperate cries of millions of children witnessing the violence against their mothers at home. And they are not only witnesses but also victims, who, from an early age, must bear the physical, psychological and social consequences of violence.
