Irish-Born, Stateless: Chichi's Fight for Citizenship
Description
Chichi Okoli, a 21-year-old Irish student, faces citizenship challenges due to a 2004 constitutional change ending automatic birthright citizenship. Born to a South African mother, she lost her mom at 16 and entered foster care. Despite her Irish upbringing, she lacks citizenship due to her mothers inability to secure legal status. Frustrated with the lack of coordination between agencies and the assumption of perfect family structures, Chichi is fighting for policy reform and starting a nonprofit to support care kids.
