Dear Friends,
The European Roma Rights Centre is very happy to announce the launch of its new communication channel, the ERRC Blog.

The Blog will be a space for sharp analysis; striking reportages; news, views and reviews about what matters most for Roma. The Blog will offer a stimulating mix of pertinent legal analysis, expert opinions, and personal testimonies.

The intention is to stimulate conversation and debate about what’s needed to make a difference in the lives of Roma across Europe, and how best to combat discrimination and prejudice in pursuit of equality and dignity for all.

The ERRC Blog will be an interactive forum, open to your comments and contributions.

Please join the conversation and help us make the ERRC Blog a vital and dynamic space to exchange ideas that matter.

Today, 17 October is the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty.

In Europe #Roma are more likely to live in #poverty than any other group, which is a result of their social, political and economic #exclusion and the #discrimination they face on a daily basis. According to a UNDP / FRA survey from 2011, about 90% of Roma surveyed live in households below national poverty lines.

Eradication of Roma poverty is impossible without the elimination of the systemic ethnic discrimination that hinders them in accessing quality education, housing, employment and health care.

“The positive thing of this municipality is that you can talk to the councillors, they agree to meet you. They listen to you but then they do not do anything. For three years Roma and NGOs have been meeting with the municipal authorities, but nothing has changed. Look at this camp! All of Milan’s formal camps are abandoned, conditions worsened over these years.”

In conversation with Soraya Post: http://www.errc.org/blog/in-conversation-with-soraya-post/21 … via @errctweets

The recently elected Feminist Party MEP and lifelong Romani activist, Soraya Post spoke to Bernard Rorke about rejuvenating representative democracy, defending the rights of women, and plans to create a European parliamentary intergroup to combat anti-Gypsyism.

Bernard Rorke: Congratulations on being the first Feminist party candidate and one of only two Romani MEPs to be elected to the new European Parliament. I read something very interesting about your grass roots election campaign of ‚house meetings‘ – could you tell us about that? Do you think there are lessons to be learned to increase Roma participation in political life?

Book Review: What is to be done about hate speech?: http://www.errc.org/blog/book-review-what-is-to-be-done-about-hate-speech/17 … via @errctweets #Roma #Romaright

The ‚context‘ of anti-Gypsyism, and the connections between hateful words and heinous deeds pose profound and troubling questions for champions of free speech and opponents of content-based bans.

ERRC congratulates courageous Malala on Nobel Peace Prize. ERRC shares the same vision that Malala campaigns for: https://www.facebook.com/EuropeanRomaRightsCentre …

Similar to girls in Pakistan that #Malala campaign for #Romani girls across Europe face discrimination in education

17 years-old Pakistani activist for girl’s education #Malala Yousafzai has become the youngest ever recipient of the prestigious #Nobel Prize. Malala shared the award with Kailash #Satyarthi, an Indian child rights campaigner. The Nobel Committee praised the pair’s „struggle against the suppression of children and young people“. In October 2012, the Taliban attempted to kill Malala for her activities in demanding the right to education for girls in her country and elsewhere.

The ERRC congratulates courageous Malala on the Award. The ERRC proudly shares the same vision that Malala campaigns for: All children have the right to quality education without facing any discrimination. Access to quality education in an environment free from all racial, gender-based or ethnic prejudices is a fundamental key for creating a fair and just word.

However, similar to girls in Pakistan that Malala campaign for, #Romani girls across Europe also face discrimination in accessing education. The ERRC fights to ensure equal access to education for Romani girls; see our recent submission to the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (#CEDAW) Committee on this issue: http://www.errc.org/article/errc-submission-to-un-cedaw-committee-to-the-general-recommendation-on-girlswomens-right-to-education-july-2014/4324

We also would like to thank the Nobel Committee for awarding two children’s rights activists this year. We believe this will also help to raise awareness on this crucial matter globally.

„The model is not too complicated: where the Roma make up a majority of the inhabitants, the person they vote for will be mayor. These settlements are typically situated in the poorest regions of the country, where apart from the HUF 22,000 (USD 95) a month in public support, public work is the only source of income. (…) those roma who vote properly can get work for the next four years, welfare, extraordinary support, etc.. In fact, only those get work, etc., who vote appropriately. (…) In the polling stations the voters showed the filled in ballots to the appropriate delegate in plain view (…)“
