Another set of articles on the young Jewish activists who have given a home to other minorities NGOs, especially to Roma ones as well as to LGBT organisations. Aurora was shut down last Friday – but the fight continues.

Bosnia – Still not safe

July 2, 2017 Published by: RF

An article highlighting the fact that Bosnia, more than 18 years after the end of the war, is still not safe for Roma to return. Ethnically cleaned countries are not good for minorities.

Bulgarian Roma

July 2, 2017 Published by: RF

An article about Bulgarian Roma. The article is probably well intentioned, but by showcasing a prostitute in Germany who wires 139’000 Euros back to her home contry, contributes to perpetuate negative stereotypes.
BAD.
