This document outlines the EURoma Network’s contribution to the European Commission’s call for evidence and public consultation to seek stakeholders’ views on the upcoming EU Anti-Racism Strategy 2026-2030. It aims to contribute to increasing the effectiveness of this Strategy in combatting the discrimination and the specific form of racism, known as antigypsyism, experienced by Roma across the EU.
EURoma Network welcomes the elaboration of the new EU Anti-Racism Strategy for 2026-2030, which should be crucial in building a more inclusive and equitable society that upholds the fundamental rights of all individuals, including Roma. Based on the experience of implementing the Anti-Racism Action Plan 2020-2025, the new strategy should strengthen the protection of rights holders (in cases of institutional and interpersonal racism) and develop targeted policies and measures to address structural racism and discrimination in key areas such as employment, education and housing.
EURoma contribution aims to:
- Provide a general assessment of the insights gained from the implementation of the current EU Anti-Racism Action Plan 2020–2025 and its added value in addressing racism and discrimination against Roma.
- Higlight why strengthening the fight against racism and discrimination faced by Roma in future EU Anti-Racism Strategy is so relevant.
- Put forward some proposals to strengthen the efforts to tackle the antigypsyism and discrimination encountered by Roma.
