UK, Roma, and Sexual Exploitation

Mai 3, 2018 Published by: RF

According to social workers, Roma children need translators to fend of the risk of sexual exploitation.
Very good, and certainly a good idea in some case. But this leaves an aftertaste: It implies Roma children are at greater risk of being sexually exploited. Is this not actually the case of any child from a poor family and with a poor knowledge of English or simply not yet well integrated? Would the same article be written about people of African origins?

Hungary: Racism

Mai 3, 2018 Published by: RF

Members of the Roma band “Pasrno Grast” were refused entry in a disco in Budapest on most probably on the grounds of them being Roma. This in spite of the fact that the band is well known in Hungary and its concerts are attended by many non-Roma Hungarians.
Unfortunately, not surprising in Hungary.
