Slovakia: The Origins of Racism

Published by:

An article on the origins of the current racism in Slovakia, which, according to the author can be traced to the “Shock therapy after the fall of the Iron Curtain” which brought “Slovakia capitalism without its natural development, which often lasted even 100 years” resulting in a “real capitalism without the bourgeoisie, without intellectual elite that would have supported it.” The author also goes back further to the fact that Slovakia was built on the remnants of the Austrian Hungarian Empire, but forgetting that the policies of exclusion and racism were started under that regime in the 18th century.

Slovakia: Social Care and Rroma

Published by:

An interesting article on the social care in Slovakia, which, in the eyes of the social workers, does not work properly in Slovakia. These workers, in this case one who has been working with Rroma since the floods in 1988 in Jarovnice, floods which killed many Rroma, do not want to leave the settlements and continue helping. They are facing larger and larger hurdles.

Virginia Raggi, the new Five Stars mayor of Rome is getting more and more flak on her administration of the city and amongst this, about the Rroma camps. In spite of her promises, she continues the previous administration’s policy and continues to finance the camps, even planning to expand them.

Training on Human Rights and Anti-Tsiganism

Published by:

The council of Europe is inviting young people to apply to a regional training on combatting anti-Tisganism though human rights to be held in Odessa, in the Ukraine.
Frankly, teaching people about their human rights when their legal rights are not even respected is, at least in our minds, not the best way to fight discrimination. We’ve seen that in several countries.
Let’s hope …
