The Decade of Roma Inclusion

The Decade of Roma Inclusion (2005-2015) was an initiative aimed at improving the living conditions of Roma communities in Europe, who often face discrimination and marginalization. Governments in several countries committed to promote Roma rights, access to education, healthcare, and employment opportunities. The goal was to eliminate poverty and social exclusion among Roma people, recognizing their cultural heritage while encouraging integration. The decade involved partnerships between governments, civil society, and international organizations to create sustainable policies that would empower Roma communities and ensure their full participation in society.
