DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Republic of Macedonia’s Roma population is still the most vulnerable minority in the country, a community that faces both institutional marginalization and social prejudice. This briefing, drawing on the first-hand accounts gathered by Roma mediators working with their communities, provides crucial insights into their daily lives and the difficulties they continue to face. Despite official recognition, Roma remain excluded from mainstream society and experience discrimination in almost every aspect of their lives, beginning at school and continuing into adult life, with the majority of Roma unable to obtain formal employment. As a result, many Roma live in substandard living conditions, often struggling with overcrowding and without access to basic services. Roma in the Republic of Macedonia: Challenges and Inequalities in Housing, Education and Health outlines the range of challenges the country's Roma still face and includes a series of recommendations on how their situation can be improved. These include a more inclusive approach to service provision, greater awareness of the specific barriers experienced by the community and an emphasis on targeted strategies to address these disparities. The briefing is available in English, Macedonian, Romani and Albanian.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis report brings together the available evidence from primary and secondary sources, including household surveys and results of recent qualitative studies, to develop a picture of the development challenges facing Roma populations in Central and Eastern Europe. While living standards have declined for all population groups during the transition to a market economy, there are growing indications that conditions have deteriorated more severely for Roma than for others, and that Roma are poorly positioned to take advantage of emerging economic opportunities. This report focuses on five countries in Central and Eastern Europe: Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania the Czech Republic, and the Slovak Republic. The first chapter of the report provides the historical context and an overview of the methodological issues and main data sources; chapter two presents the available evidence on welfare status and living conditions, examining poverty, housing education, employment and health; chapter three considers issues relating to access to social services; and the final chapter reviews the opportunities for Roma participation in the design and implementation of community development policies and programmes, and outlines policy implications.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAs the continent's largest and most neglected minority, Roma populations across Europe continue to live in conditions highly harmful to their health. Life expectancy among Roma is up to 10 years below average, their infant mortality rate is unacceptably high, and preventive health care is scarcely accessible to them. The Open Society Foundations (OSF) Initiative on Legal Advocacy for Roma Health Rights, launched in 2010 by the Law and Health Initiative (LAHI) and the Roma Health Project (RHP), aims to increase the capacity of NGOs in three focus countries -- Macedonia, Romania, and Serbia -- to carry out legal advocacy for Roma health and human rights. The Initiative's two guiding objectives are (i) to increase accountability for Roma rights violations in health care settings; and (ii) to address systemic impediments to Roma access to health care.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKPopulism - How strong are Europe's checks and balances? This is the fourth annual report of the Secretary General of the Council of Europe on the state of democracy, human rights and the rule of law in Europe. As with previous reports, the five chapters look at the key building blocks of democratic security: efficient, impartial and independent judiciaries; freedom of expression; freedom of assembly and freedom of association; democratic institutions; and inclusive societies. The report’s analysis of Council of Europe member states’ strengths and weaknesses in these areas can be used to assess their resilience to the challenges posed by populism.
