Les Roms et les Gens du voyage dans l’Union européenne sont aujourd’hui plus nombreux à occuper un emploi et à vivre dans des logements de meilleure qualité qu’auparavant. Toutefois, la pauvreté, la discrimination et la ségrégation demeurent largement répandues, révèle une nouvelle enquête de l’Agence des droits fondamentaux de l’Union européenne (FRA). La FRA souligne qu’un écart considérable persiste entre les objectifs d’inclusion fixés par l’UE pour les Roms et la réalité vécue par les communautés roms et celles des Gens du voyage. Selon la FRA, il est peu probable que les pays de l’UE atteignent ces objectifs d’ici 2030.

Selon le dernier rapport de l’Agence des droits fondamentaux de l’Union européenne (FRA), les personnes intersexes dans l’Union sont confrontées à des niveaux alarmants de violence, de harcèlement et de discrimination dans leur vie quotidienne. De nombreuses personnes intersexes ont été contraintes de se soumettre à des «thérapies de conversion» ou à des procédures médicales sans leur consentement éclairé, ce qui constitue de graves violations des droits fondamentaux. La FRA invite les États membres de l’Union à répondre aux besoins spécifiques des personnes intersexes afin de les protéger contre la haine, la discrimination et les interventions médicales sans leur consentement libre et pleinement éclairé.
