Roma Rights Review
The Roma Rights Review is the ERRC’s human rights magazine. It is the successor to the Roma Rights Journal which, for over 20 years, was the sole academic journal on human rights issues concerning Roma. The Roma Rights Review was launched in 2018 with the 20th anniversary archive issue, looking back at two decades of the struggle for justice and emancipation, with scores of highlights and excerpts from a distinguished array of contributors to the Journal.
The Roma Rights Review accepts in-depth articles from journalists, academics, Romani activists, and good writers. Our issues are thematic and cover human rights issues, but also include features relating to history, culture and the arts.
The editorial and publication team consists of Bernard Rorke, Jonathan Lee, and Dzavit Berisha. Get in touch to talk about pitching an article for the next edition.

This imagined group is called the Gypsies, and they pay for this stereotype in a thousand different ways as a result of collective punishment by those with power. Whether it is punitive forced evictions of entire Romani neighbourhoods, violent and indiscriminate police raids, deadly pogroms by murderous race mobs, or segregated education of Romani children; the persecution of the Gypsies has always been carried out through collective punishment for the crimes, imagined or real, of the few.
