Thank you, Commissioner @helenadalli, for your leadership and willingness to listen to the concerns of CSO caused by horrible aggression of #Russia against #Ukraine 💛💙 targeted action is needed to support #Roma that are left behind.
Today in the meeting with Commissioner @helenadalli ERGO Network director @hrabanova asked European Commission to support NGO capacity to accept Roma refugees and monitor the situation.
Our partners in Chiricli, Ukraine have organised distributions of over 1400 hot meals in Kharkiv to Roma and non-Roma alike. Roma activists stand up to support the fellow citizens.
You can also support people in Ukraine right now: https://t.co/DG1rKcLLPL
Our colleague Julian Kondur from ERGO Network Member Chiricli in Ukraine:
"Kyiv was very lively and peaceful, with people going to work every day and living their normal lives. The idea of going back and seeing Kyiv in this condition scares me a little."

Europe has its #ChildGuarantee. Now it’s time for EU Member states to implement it. Governments must make sure that the action plans target all children in need, and NO child is left behind.

‼️Let's recognise past and present oppression and invest in building trust and dialogue.
Let's educate non-Roma and empower the Roma to change the narrative and perception of Roma in Europe!
Let's start together a DECADE FOR FIGHTING ANTIGYPSYISM‼️, says @hrabanova.
#EU4Roma
The European Platform for Roma Inclusion is now opened by @vonderLeyen. We appreciate that the @EUCommission President today acknowledges the importance of #equality and #humanrights of the Roma, after sadly ignoring to mention Europe’s largest minority in last week's #SOTEU.
On 8 April, we celebrate International Roma Day!
How to celebrate with us:
📌 Question your own biases
📌 Call out antigypsyism.
📌 Educate yourselves.
📌 Do not speak on our behalf, but give us spaces to speak up.
📌 Celebrate Roma culture & history.

Excellent that the success of Czech #Roma victims of forced #sterilization is featured in the #EUAntiRacism summit. After fighting for recognition and compensation for 20 years, the lower chamber of the Czech Parliament agreed to pay compensation.
@VSouziti@VeraJourova
ERGO and several of our members have signed this statement, criticising the lack of meaningful participation of civil society in the first #EUAntiRacism Summit and the missed opportunity to call for a broad and intersectional focus on the root causes of racism in Europe.
