On the occasion of the International Roma Day, we greet the Roma communities throughout the world. On 8th April 1971 Romani activists hold the First International Congress calling for a stronger awareness raising of the persecution faced by Sinti and Roma and for the demand of equal participation.
CEPS in cooperation with ERGO Network and Central Council of German Sinti and Roma, are proud to launch “CHACHIPEN”, a new project on the remembrance, recognition of antigypsyism, justice and trust-building between Roma and non-Roma people in Europe.
Project description about CHACHIPEN – Paving the way for Truth and Reconciliation Process to address antigypsyism in Europe: Remembrance, Recognition, Justice and Trust-Building.
CSOs call on the European Commission to ensure that commitments made under the EU Strategic Framework on Roma are held at the highest standards, and demand Member States to adopt an EU Council Recommendation supporting national Roma strategies to bring real justice and equality and ensure meaningful Roma participation at all levels and walks of life.
