The plight of Roma sees little change

Living with anti-Gypsyism

• Increase in segregated education for Roma children:
  An increase of 50% in 5 years.
  • 10% in 2011
  • 15% in 2016
• 1/5 Roma faces discrimination using public transport or shopping/going out
• 1/3 of the Roma surveyed continue to live in housing with no tap water inside

Bringing about change

• Some signs of national Roma integration strategies explicitly addressing anti-Gypsyism but not many
• Some initiatives to promote Roma inclusion and empowering young Roma and Roma women
• A few national courts ruled against Roma discrimination in work, education and housing
• The EU’s High Level Group against racism and xenophobia has prioritised the fight against discrimination and anti-Gypsyism
