Roma in Lithuania

Published by:

Roma in Lithuania are a community that still faces discrimination from ordinary people, but also from state institutions.

Roma we spoke to admit that they hear almost every day that a “Gypsy is a thief”, that they cannot be trusted, that they are liars and a cheats.

A Romni tells “Kurier Wileński” that “Roma’s life is very hard. Many of us would like to live like people of other nationalities: go to work, have friends not only among the Roma, not feel inferior. I’d love to get a job. I have looked for her many times, but as soon as I say that I am a gypsy, there are a thousand reasons to refuse me a job. I am over 50 years old and have never been to a doctor. Not because I don’t get sick, but because I don’t have insurance because I don’t work. A closed circle.”
