Roma and Children Exploitation

Published by:

A UK project aimed at children exploitation specifically tailored for Roma. Good in itself, as a project, but bad in the sense that it links exploitation with Roma whereas the child exploitation is the result of poverty and exclusion.
This needs to be said.

Ukraine, Roma, and Work

Published by:

Two Russian language articles on Roma in the Ukraine. Basic statement therein: Roma have difficulties in finding jobs, and thus they have many children and live of the money they receive for them from the social service.
All stereotypes are present here and of course it generalises … Fact is, there are many integrated Roma in the Ukraine. There are also many Roma refugees from the Dombass, they were driven out and have not been allowed to return. And in Western Ukraine, in the former parts of the Austro Hungarian Empire, the Roma situation is really bad.
