Identity Documents
Paralegal project
The ERRC has a longstanding paralegal project working with Roma to secure identity documents. The ERRC is supporting the paralegals and a local lawyer to litigate some of the trickier cases, with a view to exposing and eliminating obstacles that leave Roma without documents and, in some cases, vulnerable to statelessness.
Access to Housing
Legalisations
The ERRC is supporting Roma communities in Uzhgorod and Odessa to legalise their homes (i.e. secure tenure to the land on which they are living). In one case a Roma community already successfully legalised their homes and created a condominium.
