An article about weddings and christenings among Olah (Vlach) Roma in Slovakia. Here, a wedding with lots of kitsch and gold.

This just perpetuates clichés.

Ljubjana: Roma Wedding

Published by:

A report on a Roma wedding in Ljubljana, Slovenia. These articles (and the showing of) do not help the cause.

According to the article, the house has 600 square meters, there was a bar of gold and 10 thousand euros as some of the gifts that the newlyweds received at the Roma wedding in Ljubljana.

Slovenia: Really???

Published by:

As part of the National Platform for Roma project, the Government Office for Nationalities has prepared a video competition on the topic of early and forced marriages in the Roma community. It is possible to register a video, the purpose of which will be to raise awareness and educate about the inadmissibility of early and forced marriages in the Roma community.

Well, forced marriages are not the norm. Early are common, because married life means living with someone else. This “competition” will increase the stereotypes, not fight against poverty and exclusion.
