About this listen

Senior Human Rights Watch researcher Hiba Zayadin joins the podcast to discuss the mistreatment of children born to a Jordanian mother and a foreign father. Zayadin explains the reasons for the discrimination, including how it relates to the Palestinian question. She notes that these children are denied citizenship despite being born in the Hashemite Kingdom to a Jordanian parent and details how it impacts their employment opportunities. Finally, Zayadin addresses how Queen Rania attempted unsuccessfully to change this law some 20 years ago.
