# The Southern Africa Network for Immigrants and Refugees has urged urgent action on the rising number of stateless and undocumented children in South Africa, particularly those born to refugee and migrant parents. Head of Programmes and Partnerships, Claude Marie Bernard Kayitare, says these children face barriers to education, healthcare, and legal protection. The organisation is calling for reforms in birth registration, stronger legal protections, and inclusive policies. The organisation urges the government to address these issues at the upcoming Children’s Summit to ensure all children’s rights are upheld.
