On World Water Day, ERRC staff explain how the lack of access to water for Roma in Europe is a matter of ethnic discrimination.

In celebration of this day we made a video in which we asked some of the ERRC women and men what this day means to them. It is a true honour to have people like this on our team, fighting for Roma Rights and  Womens Rights. Let us continue fighting for justice and equality.

In November 2016, the ERRC visited Ankara to participate in a meeting on the drafting of a new Turkish National Roma Integration Strategy document. While we were there we met with Özcan Purçu, Turkey’s only Romani MP, to discuss issues facing Roma in Turkey and his own experiences growing up there.

The European Roma Rights Centre is demanding the Secretary-General of the United Nations compensate the Roma, Ashkali & Balkan Egyptians exposed to lead poisoning in Mitrovica, Kosovo, in line with a finding by the UN Human Rights Advisory Panel that the UN was legally responsible for what happened.

In commemoration of Roma Genocide Remembrance, ERRC President Ðorđe Jovanović shares his family’s experience of the Pharrajimos, and how the litigation and advocacy work of the ERRC is as important now as it ever has been in ensuring the lessons of World War Two are not forgotten.
