JEKHIPE is a European initiative that addresses the structural and institutional barriers faced by Roma communities, from the lack of recognition of historical injustices to limited access to rights, representation, and cultural institutions. Led by a consortium of European and national partners, the project combines research, advocacy, monitoring, and community empowerment to challenge antigypsyism and promote accountability. Its goal is to advance transitional justice approaches, strengthen Roma identity and cultural visibility, and support Roma organisations in fighting discrimination and shaping more inclusive policies.
