Today, 8th April, is International Romani Day, where we celebrate Romani communities, cultures and histories, and remind ourselves of the difficulties Romani people continue to experience. Take a moment today to learn more about Romani communities here: gypsy-traveller.org/teaching-resou…
Thanks to our member Peter Gibson MP @Gibbo4Darlo, for raising the educational inequalities experienced by Gypsy, Roma and Traveller children in this debate, drawing attention to the positive work of @stTeresaspri including and celebrating their Gypsy and Traveller pupils:
Today we light a candle to remember Jewish, Roma, Sinti and all the people murdered by the Nazi regime. We must not forget the horrors countless families faced, but instead honour their memories by working towards a better future for everyone.
