Published by:

Almost no news this week in France on Roma. Most notable case, the story of the “Gypsy Boxer”, one of the yellow vests protesters who was caught beating up a policeman, who went from “Gitan” as a nickname on the ring to a Rom in the press…
Other than that, protests in Savoy against a planned camp; families who were expulsed recently in Grenoble still have not been given housing; and a insertion village in the North was closed.

Moldova and Roma

Published by:

According to the executive director of the National Association of Public Mediators Valeriu Celdararu, education is one of the most acute problems of the Roma community in the Republic of Moldova. According to him, about 80% of the Roma population is illiterate, and due to lack of education they cannot get a job, respectively, cannot access medical services, and fall into a vicious circle of poverty and exclusion.
Never mind that no one agrees how many Roma live in Moldova, which casts a doubt on the 80%, there are many poor uneducated Roma in the country.
