Roma Rights in a State of Crisis

The declaration by thirty-three human rights organisations that Roma rights have reached a state of crisis is a forensic map of social murder.

This report documents a coordinated continent-wide policy of biological and social attrition. In Romania, the state enforces environmental racism by forcing communities onto hazardous industrial zones and toxic waste sites.

In Slovakia and Hungary, segregated education ensures the permanent social exclusion of Roma children. In Bulgaria, police brutality is utilised as a tool of domestic terror. In Britain, this crisis is mirrored in the 2022 Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act.

This legislation is a contemporary weapon of enclosure designed to criminalise a way of life. It is a deliberate manufacture of precarity. During this Gypsy, Roma, and Traveller History Month, we reject the performance of liberal recognition. We stand in material solidarity with the GRT communities of Britain and Europe.

Solidarity is the recognition that the fence keeping the ‘other’ out is the same fence keeping the worker in.

We defend the roadside and the caravan as sites of class struggle. We stand with the Gypsy, Roma, and Traveller communities today and always.
