Naples, childhood denied to Roma children: forced to rummage through the bins

Scenes of childhood denied in the heart of ancient Naples. For several weeks now, as the citizens of the neighborhood have denounced on several occasions, groups of nomad children roam around Forcella, rummaging through the bins in search of materials to be recovered for the infamous rubbish markets.

In the vast majority of cases they are children no more than ten years old, almost always dressed in rags, who climb among the mountains of rubbish in the shade of the heavy scaffolding that reminds of the 1980 earthquake and which represent a thorny problem for a neighborhood in full revival in a tourist perspective.

According to the reconstructions of the residents the children would be accompanied to the first lights of the dawn then then to be picked up again in the afternoon. Armed with large plastic bags, they collect the recoverable materials without disdaining to ask alms from the many passing tourists.

Particularly "welcome" are the clothing and electronic items that are sold for a few cents in the rubbish bin market at Porta Nolana. The famous free trade area, ventilated by Palazzo San Giacomo as a solution to social and urban degradation is, at the moment, still a chimera.

Racism against Sinti and Roma - From the middle of society

Racial prejudice against Sinti and Roma is a problem - especially in contact with authorities, the existential impact on those affected.

A Serbian family, which wants to make an application for benefits under the Social Code II, is insulted by the clerk at the counter of a Berlin job center: "I do not want to see your documents. I do not want to have anything to do with Gypsies. "When the woman in question begins to cry, security personnel eject her.

This is what the brochure of the Documentation Center Antiziganism (Dosta), published by the association Amaro Foro on Tuesday, says. The booklet is full of examples like this. For five years, the Senate-funded documentation center has been collecting incidents and evaluating them. One of the key insights that Amaro Foro draws from this:

Antiziganism, that is racism against members of the Sinti and Roma or against people who are considered as such, encounters those affected in all areas of life. And he comes from the middle of society, not just right-wing extremists.

Roma women in the Czech Republic, sterilized without their consent

47-year-old Helena, a social worker, was neutralized or sterilized against her will as a young woman.

She is one of four Czech Roma victims of forced sterilization who tell their stories in a play titled "Stories That (Never) Begin".

The play premiered in Ostrava, a Czech city with a large Roma community. The systematic sterilization of Roma women without their full and informed consent to reduce high birth rates - was a state policy in the former Czechoslovakia under communism.

The practice was officially discontinued in 1993, but according to information from the European Roma Rights Center (ERRC), the practice continued throughout the 1990s and 2000s, the last known case in the Czech Republic in 2007.

For more than 10 years, Elena has been active in the Roma women group that has put this issue on the agenda and successfully fought to stop forced sterilization in the Czech Republic.

They also seek compensation for what has been done to them. "But it's not just about money. It is about recognizing that our rights have been violated, ”says Elena.

Roma integration in Romania

Council of Europe estimates: approximately 1.85 million Roma live in Romania (8.32% of the population).

Romania’s top priorities include encouraging Roma children to participate in early childhood education and care, promoting entrepreneurship among the Roma and tackling problems of indebtedness.

Romania’s national Roma integration strategy aims to eliminate poverty and social exclusion through targeted education, employment, healthcare and housing policies. In Romania, the Roma are an officially recognised ethnic minority represented in the parliament.

The strategy’s objectives include ensuring that Roma children go to school, with a special focus on girls, and ending segregation in schools. It also aims to improve the Roma's access to public services and basic infrastructure.
