Community Care reported that a recent project has examined the discrimination and disadvantages of Roma and Gypsy families, and developed resources to change the situation.
According to the article, people are generally not aware of structural racism and discrimination against Roma communities. Roma people have a higher risk of being unemployed, being victims of police brutality, of housing deprivation and of health inequality. The "non-visibility" of these inequalities is further hampered by a lack of data. Additionally, non-Roma seem to accept discrimination against Roma people.
The Foundation for Public Legal Education, Law for Life, with three other Roma organisations, are trying to find ways to solve these problems and improve access to justice for Roma families. Children’s services and courts work with Roma families in ways that many parents do not understand, or in languages they do not speak. Which is why it is necessary to find an appropriate way to reach Roma families.
A toolkit (A survival guide to child protection for Roma parents) and a short film narrated by Roma, in their own language, have been developed to help Roma parents.
