We condemn the recent hate speech in those ReTweet threads targeting Roma. The reunion of the Harehills children with their parents was a lawful process in the best interest of the family. Hate speech divides us; let’s work towards peace and understanding.

Romani children being handcuffed and forcibly removed from their families. Such actions are unacceptable & raise serious human rights concerns. We must stand against the unjust treatment of any community & call on authorities for accountability and transparency.

1. The US actually has a nationwide "Gypsy Criminals" database shared by "Gypsy Task Forces" within state police departments in many States, as well as seminars on how to identify a "Gypsy" adding to our hardships. Discrimination against us is blatant, yet where's the justice?
Human Rights Violation Against Roma Families in the UK
The World Roma Federation strongly condemns the recent actions by UK local police and social services, as seen in the attached image. The removal of children from a Roma family is a grave human rights violation our rights.
The World Roma Federation commemorates the 80th anniversary of the Roma Holocaust, honoring the countless lives lost. We remember the past to build a just future, ensuring dignity and rights for all.

1943 November 15 - Heinrich Himmler makes public an order that Romani people (often referred to as Gypsies) are to be put on “the same level as Jews and placed in concentration camps.” This was merely a program, to include the deportation to Auschwitz of Roma already in camps.
Romanichel migrations from England to the United States peaked around 1850,stimulated by strong demand for horses traders, as horses were needed in agriculture and urbanization. Another wave of Romani immigration from Europe peaked between 1850 and 1862.

1/3 - Disgusted by the hate speech following the announcement of the Roma family being reunited in Leeds. Such rhetoric only deepens divisions and perpetuates harmful stereotypes. It’s heartbreaking to see this negativity instead of compassion and support for the family's reunion
Deeply disturbed by the tragic death of a young Roma man in police custody in Craiova, Romania. Allegations of police brutality & staged suicide are alarming. Urging immediate investigation & transparency. Our thoughts are with the victim's family. Justice must prevail.

On May 16th, the World Roma Federation paid their respects to the victims of the Holocaust at the Brooklyn New York Holocaust Memorial Park. The Roma Resistance Day is a day to remember and honor the brave men and women who fought against Nazi oppression during World War II.
The Roma community in Europe faces severe poverty, with approximately 80% of the population living below the poverty line. Education is also a challenge, as many Roma students study in segregated institutions with inferior infrastructure and lower education.
We the World Roma Federation urge the international community to recognize and respond to these human rights abuses. Stop take our children away from our family. STOP!

(1) It's time to speak the truth: current efforts to address Roma issues are insufficient. Events and webinars, while well-meaning, often focus on educated Roma and non-Roma consultants, leaving those living in poverty and facing unemployment unheard.
Did you know that the Roma people, also referred to as Romani, hold the title for being Europe's largest ethnic minority? These individuals often face an uphill battle against discrimination and social exclusion. 80% of the population live in poverty or are at risk!

Roma issues are absent from political agendas. The far right focuses on discrimination, with hate speech and violence rising. The far left exploits our struggles for their gain. Our community is stuck in limbo, with innocent lives lost. We need humanity over political views.
