Maha Mamo uses her story to help the stateless
| |
 |
After living for 30 years as stateless, Maha Mamo (pictured above) obtained, in 2018, the right to a nationality, the Brazilian. Born in Beirut, Lebanon, the young woman was unable to obtain Lebanese nationality, as her parents were from Syria. Also, in the family’s country of origin, Mamo and her siblings could not be registered as they were born from an interfaith marriage, which in Syria impedes registration.
