Our Path

Published by:

An article about a radio show called “Our Path” on the lives of a Roma community in Slovenia. The broadcast has been on for ten years now and highlights the ups and downs of the community, their successes, and their issues.
A small drop in the ocean, but a start to show that Roma are citizen like any others.

Switzerland: New Measures

Published by:

The Swiss are introducing new measures against “troublesome” travellers, i.e. against foreign Roma. They can now deny them the permit for work if they have not been condemned in the last two years. This may very well mean that a traffic violation will be sufficient to be denied work.
Bad, and symptomatic of the new attitude of the Swiss against Roma.
