Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities

Gypsy, Roma, and Traveller communities are historically nomadic groups with diverse cultures and languages, mainly originating from Europe. They have unique traditions, social structures, and identities, often emphasizing family ties and mobility. Many have faced discrimination and social exclusion, leading to challenges in access to education, healthcare, and employment. While some communities continue traditional lifestyles involving travel and seasonal work, others live settled lives. Recognizing their rich cultural heritage and addressing their social needs is essential for promoting inclusion and respecting their rights.
