Traveller community facing crisis over suicide rates, committee told

The Traveller community in Ireland is experiencing a mental health crisis, an Oirechtas committee has been told.

The community is facing unprecedented high rates of suicide and self-harm, with large amounts of Travellers on medication for anxiety and depression.

A number of Travellers told the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Key Issues Affecting Travellers that there is a lack of follow-on supports or referrals for Travellers who suffer from mental health issues or have been bereaved through suicide.

Figures show that Travellers experience a six times higher suicide rate, accounting for approximately 11% of all Traveller deaths.

Martin Reilly, of the National Traveller Mental Health Network, said Travellers face discrimination on a daily basis in all areas of their life.

Roma integration in Spain

For the 2014-2020 period, Spain will be allocated a total of €28 billion from the European Social Fund (ESF) and European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).

At least 27.7% of this amount will be spent on the ESF, with at least 20% of that going to social inclusion and combating poverty, which can include Roma-related measures.

Council of Europe estimates: approximately 725,000 Roma live in Spain (1.57% of the population).

The main objective of Spain’s strategy is encouraging school attendance of Roma children and improving the living conditions of the Roma by closing down slums.

Deportation of two Roma women from Tutlingen, Germany after staying 20 years or more!

They were deported to Serbia on 27.09.2019.
Both women were deported without passports, only with EU paper (DIN A4 photo paper). They do not speak Serbian either. For the first time, they are separated from the family.
The family lives in Tutlingen.

In Belgrade, both girls have problems: they do not have a valid passport, only deportation paper.
They don't even have a residence address. They are literally left on the street. Meanwhile, one of the brothers of the two sisters came to Serbia. Their residence status is unclear. Lawyers say they are threatened with arrest because they have no documents.

They suspect this deportation is a politically motivated decision.

According to the Baden-Württemberg Police Act, deportations may not take place before 4am in the period from April 1 to September 30, 2019.

In addition, you are not allowed to get the keys from the landlord of the apartment without his permission. In the event of deportation, the police cannot, without the will of the tenants or the owners, enter without a court order.

Both girls were employed!
