It explores policy lessons, institutional responses, and the urgent need to address anti-gypsyism to ensure lasting accountability.

We've taken the boys to the circus tonight to celebrate child number 1 finishing his GCSE exams earlier this week. Didn't realise when booking that I'd booked the night of England's first world cup game.
Enjoyed doing a short assembly at my son's primary school this morning for Gypsy, Roma & Traveller History Month. After as children were going back to classes, a yr 3 came to tell me that she's reading "The Lost Homework" in class & to tell me some of the words she's learnt.
📢Today we have joined 29 Romany Gypsy, Roma and Traveller charities, organisations and activists in signing an open letter responding to @KemiBadenoch linking our communities with criminality. Criminal responsibility belongs to individuals, not entire ethnic groups. Read here👇
We want to extend our thanks to everyone who attended the GRT Raising of the Flag event today @lutoncouncil. It was truly wonderful to see so many collaborators, partners, friends & community come together to acknowledge, celebrate & honour Gypsy, Roma and Traveller culture.

We were delighted to speak to final year Ministry students @queensfdn. We shared some history of Gypsy, Roma & Travellers; our vision & mission & explained the need for this. We were warmly welcomed & the students engaged with complex issues. Our deep thanks & good wishes to all.
It's been good to go with a group of Roma youth today to visit @AngliaRuskin university in Chelmsford, learning more about university life and having a taster session of a business lecture. Great experience for the young people. Looking forward to visiting again! #Roma
Enjoying our visit to @AngliaRuskin Chelmsford to give Roma young people from Luton a taste of what they could expect if they decide to go to university after school or college

Today is the feast day of Ceferino Giménez Malla, a Spanish Romani Gypsy, who was a Roman Catholic catechist and activist for Spanish Romani causes. He was martyred in 1936. He's considered the patron saint of Romani people in Roman Catholicism. https://t.co/oCGY92mM5e
