Together with participants from Serbia, Croatia, Italy, Bulgaria and Montenegro, they discussed the Roma issue, the situation of Roma in the participating countries, and also had the opportunity to get to know Rome, the Vatican and the beach in Ostia.

Racism in France

July 24, 2022 Published by: Roma Foundation

Really? 38% of French people think that “Islam is a threat to the identity of France” (compared to 44.7% in 2019) or even 45% think that “the Roma live mainly from theft and trafficking” (48 .2% in 2019).

And 37% think that “Jews have a special relationship with money”, up from two years ago (34.1%).

Even if for Roma and Moslems the numbers are better than last year, this statistic is scary.

They graduate from university, become lawyers, but often do not find work due to racism.

Germany and Ukrainian Roma Refugees

July 20, 2022 Published by: Roma Foundation

More and more municipalities in the German state of Thuringia are turning to the Thuringian State Association of Sinti and Roma for help when taking in refugees from the Ukraine. “We have been receiving calls for help from the authorities since the beginning of July,” said chairman Jens Hellmann on Tuesday when asked. It seems that since the beginning of the month, more and more Roma who have fled have come to Thuringia by bus. Many of them are illiterate, and there are also reservations among the local population. Since then, the association’s social workers and interpreters have been traveling to the respective locations and helping with translation or accommodation.
