A person without countries is commonly referred to as a stateless person. They are individuals who do not enjoy the privileges and protection of any country's government, meaning they lack basic rights such as access to education, healthcare, and employment. Other synonyms for a person without countries include a non-national, refugee, asylum seeker, displaced person, and an undocumented person. Stateless people are often victims of discrimination, abuse, and exploitation, making it difficult to integrate into society and secure a dignified existence. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees estimates that there are approximately 10 million stateless people worldwide, highlighting the need for global efforts to tackle this issue.
