At #CSocD, WRF President János Sztojka raised a key question:
How do we ensure long-term, structured participation of historically marginalized communities in UN social development processes?
Inclusion must be continuous — not symbolic.

A young Roma boy in North Macedonia was publicly humiliated and traumatized — his pain shared online to intimidate others. This cruelty reflects deep anti-Roma hatred. No child should suffer for their ethnicity. We demand justice, accountability, and protection for Roma communities. Silence enables violence — stand with Roma people. #RomaLivesMatter #StopAntiRomaRacism #JusticeForRomaChildren

According to @romeanews , Slovak police used warning shots against Roma in Veľká Ida. We are monitoring the situation closely.

This comes at a critical time, as the World Roma Federation—together with ERGO and civil society allies—prepares a joint statement to address the Czech Republic at the UN next month.

This case is not isolated.
It reflects a structural failure in prevention, protection, and accountability.
🇨🇿 Roma children deserve the same urgency and dignity as anyone else.
We stand with the family — and call on Czech institutions to treat this not as individual misconduct, but a systemic indicator.

👉 Five attackers, criminal charges, and racial bullying: the Hodonín case escalates

🔗 Link to the article: https://t.co/JAlk3WoBCx

Two juvenile girls have been charged with felonies after assaulting a 12-year-old Romani girl in Hodonín, Czech Republic. Three more girls will face juvenile court, while police are also investigating threats made on social media. The victim’s mother shared shocking footage of the attack and claims her daughter had been bullied for months with the school ignoring her pleas.

@romeanews Congratulations to Minister Manole. Representation at this level is significant — but the challenge now is delivery. Roma inclusion must be backed by mandate, resources, and enforcement. We hope to see this leadership translated into structural gains for Roma across Romania.

[World Roma Federation @WRFederation]

👏 A powerful symbolic step — and a signal that Roma inclusion must advance beyond visibility into structural presence.

We congratulate Petre-Florin Manole and hope this role brings real leverage for rights, equity, and accountability.

👉 For the first time in Romania’s history, a Roma politician has been appointed to lead a key government ministry

🔗 Link to article:https://t.co/7nu4xOa3R3

Petre-Florin Manole, a Social Democratic MP and longtime Roma rights advocate, has become Romania’s Minister of Labor and Social Solidarity. His appointment marks a historic milestone and comes as the new pro-EU government faces major social and economic challenges. Manole’s leadership is seen as both symbolically powerful and practically crucial for shaping inclusive labor and social policy.
