Barbados Submission to the Committee on the Rights of the Child

The Global Campaign for Equal Nationality Rights (Global Campaign) and the Institute on Statelessness and Inclusion (ISI), welcome the opportunity to submit additional information for the consideration of the Committee on the Rights of the Child regarding Barbados’ compliance towards every child’s right to acquire a nationality under Article 7 CRC. This submission will focus on the denial of the child’s right to acquire a nationality in violation of Articles 2, 7 and 8 of the CRC, as a result of gender discrimination in the nationality law of Barbados.
