A 20-year-old, Kaipandjarua Tjiposa from Gam, is appealing to the government to intervene and assist her in getting the necessary identification documents after spending her entire life without a birth certificate or national identity document.

Tjiposa says she was raised by her uncle, who died in 2021. 

The Ministry of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety and Security is advising mothers who have not registered the birth of their children to do so, even in the absence of the fathers.
