In the social laundry, vulnerable families can not only use services free of charge, but also wait out the power outage, chat, drink tea, and receive psychological or social support. Another task of the “Pure Dignity” project is to overcome stereotypes: public prejudice against the Roma community, and among Roma families themselves, caution in interacting with services.

Well Roma are behind afrticans, and barely before Byelorussians and Russians living in their respective countries.

Bad.

There is a catch though: the nearly 2100-square-meter plot is designated “for other historical and cultural purposes,” where residential construction is prohibited. Furthermore, the property was previously seized as part of a criminal investigation on suspicion of fraud, and the court explicitly prohibited any construction work.

Seems that the developer nevertheless got the permit … What happened to the Roma who used to live there is unclear.

Roma children experience discrimination from an early age – they are often not accepted into general kindergartens and schools, directing them to special “Roma” institutions. Such educational segregation is widespread in the Transcarpathian region. In that region, many Roma chilcren do not even go to school.
