Antigypsyism

Antigypsyism is a form of discrimination and prejudice directed specifically against Roma and Sinti communities, often rooted in stereotypes, misinformation, and historical biases. It manifests through social exclusion, stereotypes, hate speech, discrimination in employment, housing, and education, as well as violence. This prejudice stems from deep-seated stereotypes and misconceptions about these groups, influencing attitudes and policies that marginalize and stigmatize Roma and Sinti people. Addressing antigypsyism involves understanding these biases, promoting inclusion, and challenging discriminatory attitudes and practices to ensure equal rights and dignity for affected communities.
