Gender and Citizenship Initiative
"My Nationality is a Right for Me and My Family"

The Gender and Citizenship Initiative (GCI) has launched its second phase in 2006. The main objectives of the Initiative are:

• to support research-informed policy debate and dialogue on women's citizenship in selected countries in the Arab region,
• to raise public and media awareness about the scale and implications of gender inequalities inherent in key legislation,
• to build the capacity of Arab women's NGOs in networking and advocacy to lobby for policy changes, and
• to build partnerships between women's NGOs and parliamentarians
• launch regional and country based policy dialogues with key decision makers and stakeholders
• identify and address country-based challenges which may obstruct legal reforms
• raise public awareness on nationality as a case in point for engendering citizenship in the Arab world
• launch country specific legal reform initiatives related to Arab nationality Laws
