Roma people still remain one of the most marginalized and discriminated ethnic groups in the world, which is mostly encouraged with cultural differences, non-acceptance of their way of live and a certain degree of fear of the unknown. To move behind these borders delegates of India, China, Italy, Indonesia, Ethiopia, South Africa and UN Herald took a closer look at Roma community in Slovenia and visited Kerinov grm, Hudeje and Šmihel. What we realized is that a particular problem of this ethnic group is still very low level of education which have recently been improving slightly, but tangible results are still lacking. Low employment and participation in the labor market is subject to diverse social and political factors, such as non-acceptance which arise from cultural differences, prejudices and stereotypes as well as low level of education. The delegate of India was at the visit with us, so we asked her for a few words, since we know that Roma are a people native to India, which they left about 1500 years ago.
This short interview took place in Hudeje, where it was, April the 5th, celebrated the International Day of the Roma.
April the 8
th is the International Roma day as it was established at the First Romani World Congress in 1971 in London. Therefore UN Herald wants to extend our sincere congratulations to all Roma people.
