Advocating for equal opportunity and a life free of fear and discrimination for Europe's Roma
"We are NOT the problem; we HAVE a problem. You won't solve anything with racism. Think about it and stop racism." (Czech anti-racism ad campaign poster)
About this blog
I write here as an ally, who is a white Czech, and who wants to raise awareness and help dismantle Europe-wide discrimination against the Roma ("Gypsies").
In summer 2010, I was a Peace Fellow with the Advocacy Project. My focus was human rights and the Roma in the Czech Republic. This experience was invaluable in shaping my understanding of the issues facing the Roma in the region.
