R.Irland :‘Forced to pay for the crimes of others’: Roma women in Cork describe their experiences

ROMA women living in Cork say they are being denied access to shops and kicked out of supermarkets because of preconceptions about their ethnic community.A number of Roma women living locally broke their silence on various upsetting incidents that saw them singled out for their ethnicity.The group is speaking out against discrimination as part of The Echo’s Rejecting Racism series.Gabriella Ulita described how she was recently told to leave a store with her children because of the way she was dressed. She said that in many cases, storeowners associate her traditional dress with women who steal. One particular incident, she said, led to her feeling upset and ashamed.MsUlita’s husband Luciano, a pastor — who earns a living as a taxi-driver — has spent years trying to stamp out begging in Cork’s Roma community.Since founding the Apostolic Church in Mayfield Business Park almost three years ago, he has been working tirelessly to change perceptions around his community. While serving as a pastor in the church, he inspired a number of Romani people, involved in activities like begging, to turn to Christianity.

Event - Roma Day 2020 : Conference & Festival of Diversity

The association HANGO ROMA and the Roma Adult Education Center Burgenland had planned an event for International Roma Day in spring 2020, which will be celebrated worldwide on April 8th. The event, which was canceled due to the Covid19 measures, will now take place on September 26, 2020 in the OffenenHausOberwart (OHO).

The Oberwart assassination had significant consequences for the autochthonous Roma society in Burgenland and Austria. For the first time in the history of the Second Republic, the ethnic group received socially relevant attention. The sometimes precarious living conditions came into the focus of the public as well as the structural discrimination and the prejudice structures with which the Roma were still confronted.

While the Oberwart assassination resulted in more or less noticeable changes, attacks on Roma and murders in other European countries remained largely without consequences for societies. State measures to improve the living conditions of the Roma are lacking in most countries, as is rigorous action against right-wing extremist groups and media who use racist slogans to prepare the ground for everyday violence against Roma.
