About 30 Roma women and girls from Odesa Oblast completed financial and information literacy training, which consisted of three trainings and homework assignments. The participants of the trainings, in particular, learned to plan and manage an individual / family budget, safely work with various information and detect fakes, use government online services for employment and social assistance. According to the organisers, this will help Roma women and girls to become more financially independent and strengthen their socio-economic capacity in the difficult context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

A really nasty poster was posted on the bus station in Lutsk, Ukraine. The poster urges people not to speak nor help Roma there.

The Roma were forcefully removed from the station a few days ago but seem to have come back.

Ukraine – REALLY???

January 12, 2022 Published by: Roma Foundation

In 2016, a Pogrom against Roma took place in Loshchinovka, near Odessa. No Roma were hurt as they had fled prior to the start of the pogrom. The origins of the pogrom was the brutal murder of an 8 year old girl and the fact that a Rom was initially accused of it. This accusation was dropped later.

Roma went to court to protest against the eviction and against the actions of several village officials., including the police which did not do anything to protect the Roma.

They lost – the eviction is apparently “self-government” of the village.

BAD.
