Thank you, @Elias_Dray for your presence and your empowering speech at the Youth Commemoration in Birkenau, on the occasion of #2august.
@dikhhenabister@EUJS
Around 500,000 Roma and Sinti were murdered by Nazi Germany.
On 2nd of August, European Holocaust Memorial Day for Sinti and Roma, we remember them.
I am here, in Birkenau, with the 150 Roma activists of @dikhhenabister to commemorate and dignify their memory. To never forget. 🕯️
Today, the participants of @dikhhenabister are visiting the permanent exhibition on the genocide of Sinti and Roma at the Auschwitz-Museum
They prepare for the #Commemoration event for #2August
Our equality efforts towards a #UnionOfEquality need to remain on track and be reinforced as necessary, unlike what was reported in @EURACTIV.
Women and minorities cannot be left behind in our #COVID19 response.

"This day should serve as a reminder that Roma people – as the largest European ethnic minority – have contributed to Europe's diversity and enriched our heritage for centuries".
Statement by @VeraJourova and @helenadalli for #InternationalRomaDay#8April

In these times, greater efforts must be put into ensuring that Roma people are included in society and that they have equal access to the basic needs, thus ensuring their protection against infection.

"We need to build solidarity between #minority and non-minority #youth organisations if we want to ensure and advance the place of #Roma youth issues in the agenda of the institutions," underlined our VPER at closing of @YouthCOE and @RTTCoE Roma Youth Participation Seminar.

"We encourage all Roma and non-Roma to #resist homophobia, transphobia and biphobia and build alliances and solidarity with LGBTQ Roma people!" - Vera Kurtić, Council of Europe & Dezső Máté, CEU Romani Studies Program #IDAHOT#CriticalRomaniStudies#CEU
Urgent appeal: human rights violated in Giugliano. The perverse Game of the Goose evictions continue, perpetuated against 450 Roma who have been present on the territory for over 30 years.

#Ukraine: A year after the attack on #Roma in #Kyiv, no justice for victims
"What the Ukrainian authorities have done over the past 12 months falls far short of an effective investigation, and they have done little to help the victims of this brazen hate crime" @CanEmbUkraine
Romanian police “expected Roma to be criminals because of their ethnic origin” says European Court @ECHRPress in first-ever judgment of #institutionalracism in Europe! Government ordered to make a five-figure payout to Romani victims of brutality 🙌. #shngale
Mob violence against Roma in #Bulgaria, #Italy & #France has not occurred in a vacuum, it is politically orchestrated. #Antigypsyism is an obscenity, a stain on the #EU. A simple message to mainstream political parties: To remain silent is to be complicit! https://t.co/NVcQX1lc9o
Once again, Roma in Bulgaria are victims of mob violence. Read the position of the national Roma coalition Intelect, co-chaired by ERGO member Integro Association.

Indeed! @HelsinkiComm Recent events in #Bulgaria have shown us that more needs to to be done to protect #Roma from ongoing acts of violence motivated by hate. We ask @MFABulgaria to take action. @CanadaFP @KHamiltonRO
