Born In Italy – But Never Italian?
Show Notes

Some 900,000 children born, raised and schooled in Italy are nevertheless denied Italian citizenship. They are denied recognition from the only home they’ve ever known. Why? Because their parents aren’t Italian.

The Speechbag podcast talked to Oiza Queens Day Obasuyi, a junior researcher and program assistant at the Italian Coalition for Civil Liberties and Rights, about the push to reform Italy's citizenship law - and what the new right-wing government means for their campaign.
