The Plight Of Europe\’s Roma Population

The document examines the difficulties faced by Roma populations in Europe and the role of governments in contributing to their persecution. It provides background on Roma origins and populations, then discusses the prejudice and discrimination they face, including lack of access to education, employment, healthcare and political rights. Specific examples from the Czech Republic, Italy, and OSCE programs are discussed to show how governments have failed to dismantle discriminatory policies or protect Roma communities, despite initiatives like the Decade of Roma Inclusion. While some progress has been made, a lack of political will and limited Roma representation remain obstacles to meaningful change.

Civex Moldova: Gender issues in the Czech Republic
Civex Moldova project. Presentation for the 1st seminar in Tiraspol / Transnistria. Gender issues in the Czech Republic. Role of the civil society, outline of legal and institutional framework (1990-2012).

The document discusses the history and challenges faced by Roma populations in Europe. It notes that Roma originated in India and began migrating to Europe in the 900-1100 AD period. For centuries, Roma faced persecution, discrimination, and lack of rights in European societies. More recently, there have been efforts by European institutions like the EU and Council of Europe to promote Roma inclusion and rights, but Roma populations still face high levels of poverty, discrimination, and hate crimes in many European countries. The document calls for greater cooperation and mainstreaming of Roma issues in European policies to address these ongoing challenges.
Romani history & culture
The Romani people originated in Northern India and were forced from their homeland by Mahmud of Ghazni in the 11th century, beginning their migration across Asia and into Europe. The document provides an introduction to Romani history, culture, religious beliefs, language and symbols. It discusses the origins and migration of the Romani people, their experiences during the Holocaust, famous Romanies, and challenges like stereotyping and discrimination they have faced.
HU_Promoting the social inclusion of Roma
This document provides a summary of the national situation regarding the Roma population in Hungary. It notes that the Roma population in Hungary is estimated to be between 520,000-660,000, or around 6% of the total population. The Roma population has higher birth rates but also higher mortality rates, resulting in a younger population profile compared to the general population. Unemployment and poverty disproportionately affect the Roma population. The Roma face discrimination in many areas including employment, education, and access to services. While the government has acknowledged the need to promote Roma integration, implementation and evaluation of policies remains a challenge.
The Roma of Europe. Culture Crisis and Opportunity
The Roma, also known as Romani or Gypsies, are an ethnic group that originated in northern India but have lived in Europe for centuries. They have faced extensive persecution and discrimination. There are estimated to be 10-12 million Roma in Europe today who remain marginalized with high poverty rates and lack of opportunities. Roma culture is family-focused and traditions include arranged marriages. The Romani language has roots in Sanskrit but most Roma are multilingual. The document discusses the religious practices of Roma communities and efforts of the United Methodist Church to support Roma people.
The romani people
The Romani people are an ethnic group that originated in India, migrating to Europe beginning in the 11th century. They are dispersed throughout the world but have largest populations in Europe, with groups like the Roma in Eastern Europe, Kale in Spain/Portugal, and Romanichal in Britain and the United States. The Romanichal reached Britain in 1502 from Spain and migrated from there to other English-speaking countries. Traditionally nomadic, they lived in caravans and followed the same routes as their ancestors, though today some have settled lifestyles.

No place to call home
This document is a report by UNICEF Kosovo and the German Committee for UNICEF about the forced repatriation of Roma, Ashkali, and Egyptian children from Germany to Kosovo. It finds that these children have grown up in Germany, often only speaking German, and are being sent to a foreign country with a language they do not understand. Upon return to Kosovo, these children often face difficulties registering for school and accessing basic services due to a lack of civil documentation and poverty. The report calls for shared responsibility between sending and receiving countries to better protect the rights and welfare of returned children.

This document provides an overview of Euroscepticism as a phenomenon challenging European elites. It discusses Euroscepticism in different parts of Europe, both among populist and extremist right-wing parties as well as more moderate voices. The author analyzes Euroscepticism in the European Parliament and evaluates the challenges posed by the rise of Eurosceptical views. The document aims to distinguish between Euroscepticism as a general sentiment versus as a part of specific political profiles and ideologies.

The document summarizes key points from the 2019 OECD Economic Survey of the Slovak Republic. It finds that the Slovak economy has experienced robust growth in recent years, with low public debt and a strong labor market. However, the economy relies heavily on car production and faces risks from automation. It recommends diversifying production, improving education and skills training, boosting innovation, facilitating skilled immigration, and strengthening public services. A second section notes high levels of social exclusion among the Roma population and calls for greater inclusion through early education programs, improved living conditions, and expanded health care access.Finalpopulism en
The rise of populist and extremist parties in Europe can be explained by their process of normalization and institutionalization over the past 20 years. Previously marginalized parties have modernized their leadership, rhetoric, and policies to become more acceptable. They have also gained popularity by presenting themselves as entrepreneurs bringing new issues neglected by mainstream parties. Meanwhile, traditional parties have lost momentum by failing to offer meaningful programs, policies, and ways to engage and mobilize citizens. The economic crisis further fueled populist criticism of elites and the EU. However, populism is a complex phenomenon not limited to extremist fringes, but also reflecting broader anxieties in society about globalization, national identity, and the changing role of the nation-state
Roma integration in the Netherlands, developments in 2013
The document summarizes the findings of a baseline monitor on the social inclusion of Roma and Sinti communities in the Netherlands. Key findings from the monitor include:
- Education participation is reasonably good at the primary level but drops off in secondary education, with early dropout being a concern.
- Employment is growing among Roma and Sinti populations but prejudice remains, and many prefer self-employment or rely on social benefits.
- Housing is affected by poverty and debt, though some Roma and Sinti prefer living together in camps or mobile homes.
- Health issues include higher rates of obesity, depression and lower life expectancy compared to the general Dutch population.
- Safety issues include generation conflicts,

The Trap We Set
This document discusses sex trafficking and its links to pornography. It defines sex trafficking as modern day sexual slavery where people are enslaved into sexual practices like prostitution through coercion and force. Most victims of sex trafficking in Europe are women from Eastern Europe who were promised better opportunities but were instead forced into sexual exploitation. Common trafficking routes move women from countries like Moldova and Ukraine through the Balkans and into Western Europe. The document argues that pornography is at the root of the demand for sex trafficking in Western Europe, as societies that abandon biblical morality view women as objects without intrinsic value. It claims examining the relationship between pornography and sex trafficking is an important first step in addressing this issue.

FRA - Child trafficking Media Release
The document summarizes a report by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights on strengthening the role of the EU in fighting child trafficking. Some key findings include: there is no clear definition of child trafficking in EU law; many children disappear from shelters and likely fall victim to trafficking; identification of victims is crucial but challenging; and protection of child victims needs to be a priority, including not detaining or punishing victims. The report calls for EU legislation to address these issues, define child trafficking, improve victim identification and protection, and ensure children's best interests.

Technological aspects of the EP elections 2014
The European People's Party (EPP) and the Party of European Socialists (S&D) retained their majority in the European Parliament following the 2014 elections. Turnout declined sharply in some Baltic states. There was an ongoing adoption of American-style online campaigning and canvassing, but complete replication of the US model was constrained by differences in political systems and campaign finance rules. Far-right parties had some success but did not gain significant influence at the EU level. Euroscepticism remained a powerful driver for radical forces. National interests and opposition to EU migration policies were prominent issues, though family values and abortion were not major agenda items. Germany had the most influence in the European Parliament after the elections.
