Czech Health Ministry scandalously rejects compensation to woman whose Romani origin is listed as the reason for her sterilization

The Czech Health Ministry has rejected a request for compensation in a case of sterilization where the Romani origin of the woman was listed as the reason for the operation. The Human Rights League (Liga lidských práv) organization announced the news today in a press release.

As of 1 January, a law to provide a one-time monetary payment to persons who have been sterilized unlawfully has been in effect. From the beginning of the process, however, those applying for compensation have run into problems.

In August, nonprofit organizations warned about some of those problems through an open letter addressed to the Czech Prime Minister and Health Minister. “None of those problems has been resolved yet. The Health Ministry, despite the two-month deadline, still has several unresolved applications dating as far back as January, and evidence other than medical records is not being recognized,” the Human Rights League says in a press release.

Roma, gay, grandfather at 44 , dentist: Djani Jovanović is one of the biggest activists in Germany - I constantly feel discrimination

Djani Jovanović was forced to marry at the age of 14, very soon after that he had a child, and today he is one of the biggest LGBTQ activists and fighters for Roma rights in Germany.

Jovanović doesn't hide at all, and he doesn't try not to be conspicuous. In fact, he tries to be as visible as possible so that others can also benefit from it, especially on behalf of the Roma, and he himself says that he is "a child of a small majority". He also wrote about this in his new book. He is also a lecturer, a comedian and above all a dentist, writes Blic.

What is interesting is that the life story of Đanija Jovanović, originally from Serbia and born in Germany, is like something out of a documentary film. And he is only 44 years old! He says that he knew he was gay even when he was a kid, not knowing what was waiting for him in life, and the first thing that awaited him was an arranged marriage that his parents imposed on him when he was only 14 years old.

- I didn't know anything in advance. I found out on the day of my marriage. I was 14 at the time and I remember thinking: This doesn't look right and I don't feel right, but I didn't know what exactly was wrong. I had the impression that someone was choking me. It's like I'm a frog that's been put in hot water and doesn't want to be boiled. But it made me feel bad, and yet at the same time it was "normal". That's how it was in my family, and others who surrounded me. Regardless, I felt as if someone had robbed me, as if they had taken my soul and I thought I would have to live like that for the rest of my life - says Jovanović, who lives in Cologne today.

Marriage also meant that he had to become a parent very soon, even though he was still a child at the age of 16.

Roma without electricity from Nis: We are hurt by the comments that we are privileged

The Roma in the Niš settlement "12 February" still do not have electricity and say that they will start more radical protests if their problem is not solved by the end of the week and that they are ready to look for salvation in emigrant visas and reception. centers for refugees. Since after the meeting with Minister Zorana Mihajlovic they were not invited to a new one and no one responsible answered them, together with the representatives of the "Opre Roma" Movement they announced that they would pray "for unscrupulous politicians" in the cathedral.

"Help us get out of this darkness," prayed resident Angjelka Vuckovic, adding that people do not live in that neighborhood, but are barely surviving. He says that they yearn for light and that's why they spend their days outside, and when it gets dark they don't feel like living.

We Roma are a peaceful people, as they tell us, so we do. We seek only the most basic things for life. Water and electricity are the basic things, so that we can bathe, children can study normally. Children cannot study by candle or flashlight. Children are four or five months old and do not know what electricity is. People, help and tell us what you want more from us - she appeals.
