Slovenia and Roma Integration

Tags:

An interview with the Sociologist Jana Javornik on the situation of Roma in Slovenia where she rightly say that the situation will not improve wth further repressive measures.

She says: “Successes can only be seen in environments where trust is established with the Roma community. The result of long-term exclusion is distrust in social institutions and in everything non-Roma. There is no doubt that violence of all kinds is dangerous for both individuals and communities. Problems that are co-created, have been imposed for decades. There will be no coexistence and development with increased police presence, punitive measures and the reduction of social rights. They also contribute to less safe communities for all and the reduction of rights for all Repression, punitive and stigmatizing social policies never lead to integration, but deepen marginalization, segregation, mistrust, hatred and violence. We will all feel the consequences.”
