Slovakia and Children

Published by:

A depressing article about the prospects of young Roma from the settlements: If a child is born in a Roma settlement, he has no prospects for the future. He or she usually ends as his parents – without an education and under-employed. According to experts, poverty in Slovakia is due because of the persistent prejudice and the inability of schools to adapt to the needs of Roma children.

The lawyer defending the Roma victims of an attack on a camp in the Kharkiv region was brutally attacked. And the leader of the attacker was none other than a local prosecutor. Apparently, the attackers were not even masked and there is CCTV coverage.
Bad.
Also bad that the newspaper used the picture of a Roma shantytown from Paris. It is the camp of the petite ceinture – on the tracks of a disused train line.

There is no upper secondary school in the city, and due to poverty, most cannot afford the transport. The purchase is a local Roma initiative.

Is it a trend? Or is it a change? The news this week on Roma in France are definitively different. Education, about a Romni in Montreuil fighting for the enrolment of Roma children in school; help, with a story of students of a prestigious French university (Science Po) devoting time to Roma in Poitiers; a Roma manifestation in Nice about the living conditions in Romania; a movie about a Roma family; an integration centre is being discussed in the North of France and one opened near Paris in Ivry; and then the usual news, a fire in a camp in the North, and a camp closure near Paris.
Finally, racism in France with Moslems and Roma coming on the top of the league … A depressing pattern in Europe.
