The evolution of NFA from Statelessness Network Asia Pacific (SNAP)

about nfa

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).

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.
