Bulgaria and the Alo.bg Site

Bulgaria and the Alo.bg Site

The Alo.bg site is showcasing classified ads. Now, more and more Romnja are advertising their services as prostitutes in the Varna region.

This has prompted discussions: Some believe that this is a serious problem that should be investigated by the authorities, while others believe that the situation has been exaggerated. They believe that this is a form of exploitation and that such practices should be stopped and are demanding stricter control over online platforms.

Sceptics believe that this is part of a broader social problem and that the focus should not be only on the ethnicity of the women, but on the reasons that make them engage in such activity. “This is not a problem of just one community, but of the whole society. We need to work for integration and providing opportunities for everyone to prevent exploitation,” said one expert.

Usual Clichés: Rroma Criminals

Again an article in which the ethnic background seems more important than the criminal acts. We have always said that the ethnic origins of criminals is an irrelevant fact. Social background is the relevant factor. In article, the clients of young Rroma prostitutes are judged as well as the parents of the children.

Prostitution … Again

Prostitution … Again

A first article in the Swiss German press since the publication of a study on the bias of newspapers in that country against Rroma (See Rroma Foundation). This time, a Swiss man allegedly bought a young Czech Rromni from a Rrom in the Czech Republic for prostitution for the sum of 256 CHF. The whole thing flew off as the woman shouted while crossing the border and she was subsequently freed.

Sad story. But what we liked, it is the first time where such a story is brought without saying that this is “typical” or “culturally driven” for Rroma. It is a criminal deed that, unfortunately does exist. It is not a cultural trait of a minority. And we are happy that this is the way it was reported.
