Ukraine and Roma

Published by:

Another article about Roma thieves in the Ukrainian press. This time in the Volyn region of Western Ukraine. On the pretext of telling fortune, Romnja walked into a home for the elderly and stole cash and jewellery.

This is bad on both sides: On the Romani side for stealing, as it reflects on the entire community, and on the Ukrainian side, because they fail to say that this is the consequence of utter poverty and exclusion, especially among Carpathian Roma.
