The ‘Right to Belong’ project by Family Frontiers is a youth-led collective for equal citizenship consisting of youth activists, advocates and campaigners for equal citizenship in Malaysia.
Setting up of the Right to Belong project
The ‘Right to Belong’ project kicked off in March 2021 following a global training of trainers organised by the Global Campaign for Equal Nationality Rights (GCENR) and co-facilitated by Family Frontiers. Family Frontiers, along with the advocates that participated in the Global TOT replicated the workshop on a national level as part of the first cohort of the Right to Belong project—23 youth advocates participated in the capacity-building program, out of whom, 11 went on to lead projects as part of the national campaign for equal citizenship.
WORK DONE / PROGRAMMES
The ‘Right to Belong’ Project works on initiatives to raise awareness on the issue of equal citizenship among the youth population through partnership and collaboration, workshops, outreach activities and network building.
Family Frontiers and the ‘Right to Belong’ project is especially looking to engage with children who are directly or indirectly impacted by biased Malaysian citizenship laws to participate in our advocacy initiatives.
