      ab: The article describes the discriminatory handling of the bidūns, or stateless people, and explores the ways they managed to withstand the two-decade long pressures to force them out of Kuwait. It distinguishes the three different layers of violence experienced by the bidūns, which are systemic, structural and administrative violence. It then analyses the survival strategies employed by the bidūn groups in the absence of state protection and under the pressure of administrative pressures.
