FORCED STERILIZATION OF ROMANI WOMEN – A PERSISTING HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATION
While human rights can be violated by individuals or by institutions, they can only be defended by institutions. The European Court of Human Rights does not deal with single individuals who have committed crimes. Rather, it focuses on why the government in question could not take action against what happened. But where are the doctors, politicians and all the people who personally contributed to or carried out such surgeries, and when they are going to take responsibility for their actions? In order to take action against this human rights violation, blaming the Communist regime is not enough. The practice continues today and forcibly sterilized Romani women are still a long way from receiving true justice.
if you are non Rromani you need to stop what you’re doing and reblog this. Don’t ignore it. They are literally treating us like animals. They set our houses on fire. They lynched (literally) a Rromani chavo not too long ago. We are dying. Please don’t ignore us.

Te avel loki e phuv pe leste… on June 4, 2018, a thirteen year old Romani girl was murdered in Amfissa, Greece. Her killer was a local businessman who, depending on which account is accurate, either got into a fight with some Roma or specifically the girl’s father. Either way, he went back to his house, got his gun, and shot the girl in the head, while also shooting her father. The father is recovering. The killer is in hiding. I have no words this. I hope her family can find peace, but more importantly justice.

“Remember the global media hysteria about the blonde girl Maria ‘discovered living in squalor among the Roma’, and the false racist assumption that she had been “kidnapped by the gypsies”? Now contrast that with the international silence around the murder of a thirteen-year-old Romani girl, shot in the head by a local butcher, who drove at high speed into the Roma camp, armed with a shotgun and bent on committing an act of violence. This silence is yet another signal in an age where racism and prejudice are given full rein, that some lives matter less than others.”
The lack of media coverage of this most recent attack speaks volumes. They only care when the child doesn’t ~look~ like a ~Gypsy~… maj khini sim…
I really hope that this can get more attention because it’s only one incident out of many. The situation is dire for Romani people in Europe.
