Denmark should involve Roma in researching policy impact

The second Roma Civil Monitor (RCM) report for Denmark describes how immigration during the late 20th century from the former Yugoslavia is the main point of origin for the Roma now living in the country who are national citizens. The Danish authorities do not record data about ethnic origin (e.g., Roma origin).

Rroma civil society: Spain must support Rroma victims of discrimination to access justice

The Roma Civil Monitor (RCM) report for Spain has found that while Rroma in Spain enjoy better access to education today than perhaps at any time in history, the community is still far from reaching optimum levels of political representation. Overcoming antigypsyism so Spanish society in general will accept the Rroma community remains a challenge for the country.

Roma Civil Monitor project: Luxembourg’s integration of Roma remains a mystery

February 24, 2020

The second Roma Civil Monitor (RCM) report on Luxembourg has found that there is a need for data and information about Roma, Sinti and Travellers from Luxembourg in general, because the only existing approximate estimate of their numbers is already a decade old. There are no data on Roma access to the labour market, housing, health care and education. Luxembourg is home to a total of 170 nationalities and the Roma community is very small, estimated at 300 persons by the Council of Europe in 2012.
