anti-gypsyism

Anti-gypsyism refers to prejudice, discrimination, and hostility directed against Romani people, often based on stereotypes and misconceptions. It manifests in social exclusion, negative stereotypes, and unequal treatment, and has deep historical roots. This form of bias sustains marginalization, impacts access to education, employment, and housing, and perpetuates unfair perceptions of Romani communities. Recognizing and addressing anti-gypsyism is essential to fostering equality, respect, and social cohesion.
