France: The Itinerary of Rromni

Published by:

An article in a French paper about a Rroma family, especially a Rromni, Angelica Boti, who arrived in France in 2000. What is interesting here is that it is a rather conservative paper who presents this story and speaks about the will to integrate of the family.
This is new, and positive for a change.

Bad Taste …

Published by:

HEKS, the Protestant help organisation is advertising for donations using all clichés about Rroma. If you watch the pictures, you find them all.
While the situation of Rroma in Kosovo is bad, it is not all ghettoes. Rroma there were integrated and had houses in the cities etc. In brief, this kind of campaign shows that stereotypes also exist in NGOs and simply re-inforce the prevalent views.
BAD.
