Serbia: No internet, no education for Roma children from informal settlements

In Serbia in 594 Roma informal settlements. Preschool and school age children live where, due to the very poor financial situation of their parents and guardians, they do not have a telephone, internet or TV. That is why it is very difficult for them to attend classes without their own fault, they fall behind in learning from their peers.

 

 "The grandson should be enrolled in the first grade. He's been home all day now, learning the letters over the internet after school, and I'm helping him as much as I can. Thank God we have a phone, I paid for the internet for 5 months for free and now we have internet, but it expires in May and I don't know what we will do next. Says a grandmother where her 6-year-old grandson attends kindergarten and has a phone that he learns during the epidemic with the support of an ADRA tutor.

 

Hundreds of children from his area only have electricity for every third child in the house to begin with, but they can only dream of TV or smartphones and the Internet. In the case of the epidemic, this means that if they do not have any of the above, they cannot actually attend classes.

The government should provide conditions for the Roma community during a pandemic

The problems facing the Roma community have been accumulating for years.

 

According to field knowledge, the Roma community in general is familiar with coronavirus prevention measures, because in addition to the information they receive from the media and social networks, a number of information campaigns have been conducted on the ground by municipal authorities in some municipalities and NGOs.

 

According to the latest data from the Ministry of Health and the Institute of Public Health, there is no coronavirus virus in the municipality of Suto Orizari.

It has been alarming for a long time, and the current situation with Covid-19 is an indicator of how vulnerable this category of citizens living without basic living conditions is.

 

The commitment is for all persons who on any grounds have a ban to apply to the ESA or have been deleted from the records, to remove everything in order for people to enter the so-called quick entry into the social protection system, because still this measure and purpose is financial assistance to reach those families most affected during this period.

 

The same number of social and economic solutions have been submitted to the Government with the target of the Roma community. Solutions to overcome shocks should include all citizens, including waste collectors and other workers who are part of the informal economy, they said. As they say, so far they have no answer from the Government.

 

The Council of Europe's Commissioner for Human Rights said Roma were among the most vulnerable groups in a state of pandemic in many parts of Europe.

He lost his job to the coronavirus and won $ 4.8 million in the lottery

A young Australian father who lost his job in a coronavirus pandemic a short time later won an incredible $ 4.8 million in the lottery.

The Australian, who decided to remain anonymous, put the coronavirus pandemic in a difficult situation: he lost his job taking care of his wife and young child, but luck did not turn his back on him and he won the large sum of money. Lott's Set For Life will not win at once, but will be paid $ 10,000 a month for the next 20 years.

 

"When I realized I had won the award, I woke up my wife and she started screaming. I couldn't believe it. I checked countless times just to be sure. We didn't sleep at all out of excitement. We stayed up all night watching TV and making plans. Great feeling. "We are a young family with a baby and that will provide us with further rest," he told the Australian Associated Press.

 

It is known only that he is in his twenties and lives in Adelaide. He discovered that he had lost his job due to a pandemic and that this benefit had given him financial freedom that he could never have dreamed of.

 

"I recently lost my job due to Covid-19, so this is a great relief. I was under a lot of stress and now I am overjoyed. This gives us complete financial freedom. The possibilities are endless. It's a wonderful feeling, I couldn't be happier. "My wife is already planning to buy a new car and a new house, not just any house, but the one we dreamed of."

Slovakia: At-home quarantine not functional in Romani-inhabited settlements, COVID-19 infected persons to be taken to state-run facilities

The Government of Slovakia will be transferring all of the persons who tested positive in the closed, Romani-inhabited settlements from their current situations of at-home quarantine into state-run facilities beginning today. MEP Peter Pollák, a Romani community member who is a member of the Crisis Team, confirmed the decision to TV Markíza.

 

The television reporting says those found to already be ill have not been complying with the at-home quarantine and are thereby able to infect others in the settlements. "Those who have tested positive and their family members will definitively be going to state-run facilities where the quarantine will be strictly upheld," Pollák told the channel.

 

The Government had closed a total of five localities where about 6 000 Romani people live because of the positive cases of COVID-19. As of 8 April, 31 infected persons had been discovered.

 

The strict measures are being criticized by some nonprofits, the Public Defender of Rights, and an award-winning mayor. The current actions taken in the context of the spread of COVID-19 in Romani-inhabited localities are also being criticized by the former Slovak Government Plenipotentiary for Romani Communities.
