There are various Roma communities in South America living from the time of colonial rule to the present day. Their contribution to the formation of the color of nationalities on this continent is huge. But their true right is not yet equally represented in all the countries of the continent.

According to Roma organizations, over four million Roma live there. They are still victims of xenophobia, racism, racial discrimination and intolerance.

By the way, the demands for their equality have so far been achieved only in Colombia.

As mentioned above in South America, Roma culture is represented by 4 million Roma who have kept closed and traditional in their confrontation with outsiders in all groups, Spanish and Portuguese Gitanos, Calderas, Xoraxane Roma, Lovari, Macquaya, Bashalde, etc. In many Roma communities, almost everything that comes from outside is rejected, a real fear of losing the Roma cultural heritage is present in all Roma families and groups, this is a task that existing Roma organizations should develop within the communities, by strengthening of Roma ancestors of values ​​together with some cooperation of local governments and institutions, but avoiding strong intrusions and unwanted changes that we do not want to accept, but by strengthening our culture, language, tradition and respect for Roma ancient rules, many positive achievements can be reached in Roma communities.

The fight against the spread of the coronavirus in Serbia has been going on for a long time and one gets the impression that the citizens are slowly getting used to the measures, especially less movement.

After the period of uncontrolled purchase of food items, medicines, and protective equipment, it is now evident that the mobility of people in places is not as much as it used to be. Those at work are careful to adhere to the recommendations, and those in self-isolation also generally adhere to those measures.

But what is the protection of people living in informal settlements and in substandard conditions? No financial support, no opportunity to buy hygienic protective equipment. No food, In substandard conditions. What is the effect that they are protected if they do not have a functional existence.

This is definitely not the time for poor Roma. The problem is even bigger. And it will be even more posed if this coronavirus crisis takes more time. God help!
