Advancing the right to a Nationality in the Asia Pasific
NFA was formed from the work undertaken by the Statelessness Network Asia Pacific (SNAP) over four years to build a regional civil society movement on addressing statelessness in the region. In October 2020, SNAP transitioned from a project hosted by the Malaysian NGO – Development of Human Resources for Rural Areas (DHRRA) Malaysia to an organisation registered in Australia under the new name of Nationality for All (NFA).
NFA’S VALUES ON EMPOWERMENT AND INCLUSIVITY
We believe that persons with lived experience of statelessness should lead in determining how statelessness is addressed.

NFA’s Guiding Principles in Statelessness Advocacy
Respect and Inclusion
We respect the opinions and perspectives of persons with diverse backgrounds and experiences with compassion and without prejudice or judgement. We strive to create inclusive spaces and platforms to promote fair, meaningful and dignified participation of persons with lived experience, amplifying their voices and supporting their leadership in efforts to address statelessness.
Collaboration and Trust
Our activities are strategically chosen and designed in close collaboration with our partners operating in the relevant country. We value the relationships we have formed with our partners and strive towards building deeper working relationships based on trust, equality and a shared vision.
Feminism
We approach all of our activities with an intersectional feminist lens, being mindful of the power-relationships, privileges and marginalisation every person, group and community subscribes to, and refrain from taking advantage of the emotional labour of persons with lived experience.
