Roma from Resen on the street - the government promised not to turn off their electricity, so now they are faced with the opposite

Outraged Roma protested against what they had been promised by the government during party rallies that their electricity would not be cut off, but still remained suspended.

Namely, the Roma from Resen, visibly disappointed with the government, started protesting with fire in the middle of the street because, as they say, they were manipulated by it.

They were promised that if they voted in the elections, their electricity would not be cut off, and now they are facing a power outage.

A verdict was handed down in favor of the Roma couple, who were harassed by the Serbian police

A high court in Belgrade has ruled that the Serbian Interior Ministry discriminated against Roma spouses who were harassed at police stations in 2017 after reporting that their car had been stolen, the European Roma Rights Center said.

The statement said the couple were detained at the Belgrade police station at 1pm, that police officers abused their husbands and raped him on racial grounds and threatened to take their new children from the social work center.

In the first instance decision, the court decided to compensate the husband in the amount of 4,675 euros, and the wife in the amount of 1,700 euros for discrimination, causing physical pain and suffering.

The statement said that the husband had to kneel in the room where he was surrounded by eight police officers, that one of them slapped him and forced him to admit that he stole the car himself and that the police officers shot him in the stomach. It is added that one of the police officers put a bag on his head and strangled him, while the other threatened him with a gun.

When the man asked to call a lawyer, police threatened to take away his children. His wife was in the next room, and the police officer insulted her based on her religion and the husband's ethnicity, while the police officers drank while insulting her.

She was not allowed to use the toilet and was then allowed to go to the toilet accompanied by a police officer (man), and then her request to see a lawyer was denied, the ERCC said.

The pandemic of the Corona virus has shown the real attitude of the society towards the Roma

For years, Roma have faced various forms of discrimination and social exclusion across Europe. They are the largest minority in Europe, numbering around 12 million, half of whom live in EU countries.

Discrimination and isolation of Roma from society came to the fore during the coronavirus pandemic.

Roma activists across Europe confirm that the Roma community was largely isolated in Europe during the coronavirus. One of the most striking examples comes from Bulgaria, where 7 Roma settlements were isolated despite the fact that no one was infected.

Stereotypes about Roma in one of the neighborhoods caused fear in attempts to avoid contact, and Roma temperature was measured by drones.

The fact of the unequal access is about 15 cases of police brutality against the Roma in Romania, Slovakia, Serbia, S. Macedonia and the Netherlands.

This treatment of Roma has convinced activists across Europe and called for the creation of certain goals and measures in the next seven years of the EU to help solve the problems of Roma.

Conference on Access to Health Care for Roma Women, Mothers and Children

Challenges faced by Roma women, mothers and children in access to preventive health care is the topic of today's conference to be held by the associations ESE, Romano Chachipe, IZIR and the NGO KHAM.

According to the research of these civil society organizations, the Roma in the country face a more unfavorable health condition than the rest of the population. According to the associations, the infant mortality rate among Roma is 1.5 times higher than the Macedonian population in 2017. In the same year, almost 50 percent of Roma deaths occurred before the age of 65, compared with 23 percent for the rest of the population.

The findings of the survey conducted in Roma communities also identified the key problems faced by Roma women in accessing women's reproductive health services.

Half of the Roma women have not chosen a registered gynecologist, primarily because they do not have a registered gynecologist in their municipality, as well as due to the payment of services by registered registered gynecologists. Only 2% of Roma women from Suto Orizari are covered by the Ministry of Health's Cervical Cancer Screening Program, although this screening is extremely important for the timely detection and treatment of this type of cancer, the ESE association said.

They also explain that Romani women are almost not included in the Program for screening and early detection of breast cancer, which is the most common malignant disease in the female population.

Regarding the health of mothers and children, more than half of Romani women were not visited by a patronage nurse during their last pregnancy. While not even 20% of newborns are visited by a patronage nurse in the first year of life. All this can have a significant impact on the early development of children, which further reflects on the health and further development of individuals, informs ESE.

As announced, the conference will be followed by a public debate on this topic where, in addition to representatives of civil society organizations, representatives from the Polyclinic of Suto Orizari and the Health Center Delchevo will speak.
