When Kohinoor – a Muslim Rohingya - fled her home in Myanmar two years ago after a wave of ethnic violence, she hoped for a chance to rebuild her life in a new country. But in India she has found destitution and discrimination. <br /> <br />Myanmar passed a law in 1982 which denied the Rohingya citizenship. They are stateless – not recognised as nationals of any country. Kohinoor now lives with a small Rohingya community on a patch of wasteland in Delhi. In this film she talks about their daily struggle to survive and their dream for a permanent place to call home. <br /> <br />There are an estimated 10 million stateless people worldwide. Their plight will be discussed during the first global forum on statelessness opening in The Hague on Monday, ahead of a U.N. campaign to eradicate statelessness within a decade. <br /> <br />Interview / filming: Nita Bhalla <br />Editor: Shanshan Chen <br />More on: trust.org
