  • Mmm… Honestly the true first step is dismantling antiziganism entirely, because at least for me, I don’t feel comfortable truly publicly saying anything bad about Roma culture. I don’t want to feed into racism or stereotypes. So getting rid of that fear is a good step.

    The next thing would ensure equality of Roma women. Roma women are one of the most trafficked groups in Europe, get sterilized without consent at hospitals, get their kids taken away from them for no reason by statecare. If we are in an abusive environment, why would we want to try to leave and get help? Is what out there going to be any better? It’s not an easy question, nor do I think any of it will be answered unless antiziganism ceases to exist.








  • Yes I agree with all your points. It is too uncommon to leave specific people (usually the most “undesirable” populations like disabled, trans, and Romani people) out of certain discussions or movements. It happens in the past, it happens now, it happens even on this site. We do always have to strive to do better and to advocate for who we tend to continuously forget about.

    Yes the 5% thing is so cruel right. The quote about animals and Gypsies being portioned out really got to me when I read it.
