26. Living Stateless in the USA with Karina and Katie from United Stateless
Manage episode 288932084 series 2776243
This week I’m talking to Karina and Katie from an organisation called United Stateless - the only organisation in the United States of America to be advocating for stateless people.
This is another topic that I had no idea about before Karina and Katie opened my eyes to what it means to be stateless.
Turns out there are around 200,000 people in America alone who fall into the category of stateless, and millions of people worldwide - a number that is difficult to estimate as half of the countries in the world don’t count these people...
One of these people is Karina herself, who was born in Soviet Ukraine, in the former Soviet Union. She left there when she was 4 to try and seek asylum in Canada or the US - both of which rejected her claims. Meanwhile the Soviet Union had ceased to exist, leaving her without a country. She currently lives stateless in the US.
