REYN Italy

REYN Italy has been launched

/in /da

Last May Associazione 21 luglio announced the starting of REYN Italy (Romanì Early Years Network – Net for the Romani first childhood), a project aimed at supporting professionals and para-professionals working with Roma communities in Italy in the field of early childhood development (ECD).
REYN is part of and managed by ISSA (International Step by Step Association). It promotes equal, inclusive and quality services for Roma children and families through professional development and sharing of experiences among ECD professionals and practitioners at international level. In Italy, the project is realized thanks to the support of the Open Society Foundations’ Roma ‘Kopaçi’ Initiatives within the Early Childhood Program, London.
The Italian project has been presented in Torino, Roma and Reggio Calabria, engaging  ECD experts from the North to the South of the country and collecting, so far, more than 50 subscriptions among individuals and organizations.
From now on it will be possible to follow updating related to REYN Italy through its blog: https://reynitaliablog.wordpress.com. Moreover, there will be the opportunity to enter in contact with REYN Italy’s members, joining its FB group restricted to professionals and practitioners that registered for the network.
REYN Italy is also reachable on Linkedin.
If you are an ECD professional or practitioner, or if you know one interested, you can freely join the network by sending an e-mail to reynitalia@21luglio.org.

CAPITAL SIN. Briefing on forced evictions of Roma communities in Rome in the context of the upcoming Jubilee of Mercy (october 2015)

/in /da

A sharp increase in evictions took place starting from 13 March 2015, in conjunction with the announcement by Pope Francis of the Jubilee of Mercy, an event which will bring millions of pilgrims and visitors to the Italian capital. Since the day when the Holy Year was proclaimed, forced evictions have tripled. Associazione 21 luglio is seriously concerned about this increase, and launched the international campaign #CapitalSin, fearing the reiteration of what happened on the occasion of the Jubilee in 2000, that some did not hesitate to call the “Black Jubilee of the gypsies”.

Municipality of Rome condemned for La Barbuta Camp: for the first time in Europe an official Roma-only settlement ruled discriminatory

/in /da

On 30 May 2015, the Civil Court of Rome decided at first instance against the municipality of Rome, ruling for the first time in Europe that “nomadic camps” are a form of segregation and discrimination based on ethnic grounds, breaching Italian and European law.
In April 2012 the NGOs ASGI (Association for Legal Studies on Immigration) and Associazione 21 Luglio took legal action against the City of Rome to stop the construction of La Barbuta camp. This lawsuit was supported by Amnesty International (AI), European Roma Rights Centre (ERRC) and Open Society Foundations (OSF).
As argued in the complaint, the Italian court stated that the construction of the “village” La Barbuta was discriminatory in nature – and therefore unlawful by the mere fact that a specific ethnic group, the Roma, were being segregated from the local population through the provision of housing from the city council.
“It must indeed be considered as discriminatory any large scale housing solution directed only at persons belonging to the same ethnic group, especially if realised, as in the case of the settlement site in La Barbuta, in order to hinder cohabitation with the majority population, and in terms of equal access, to fair conditions, to education and social health services located in an area where there is a serious risk to the health of persons residing there”.
On 30 May 2015, the Civil Court of Rome acknowledged “the indirect discriminatory nature of the Rome Municipality’s behavior […] that it expressed in the allocation of housing in the formal camp La Barbuta,” and therefore ordered the City of Rome to halt any future actions and adequately and fairly address the needs of the affected Roma community.
This judgment reaffirms the long-held positions of ASGI, Associazione 21 Luglio, ERRC and OSF, and it applies also beyond the context of La Barbuta. Placing Roma in Roma-only camps, shelters or any other mono-ethnic housing solution fosters social exclusion and is contrary to the Race Equality Directive 2000/43 that prohibits discrimination in housing.
However, notwithstanding the importance of this decision, the organisations stress that the overall situation in Italy for Roma in equally accessing housing continues to raise serious concerns. We urge the European Commission to initiate infringement procedures against Italy on the basis of the clear shortcomings of its implementation of the Racial Equality Directive.

Roma activists meet Peace Nobel Laureates in Rome

A Roma activist meets Peace Nobel Prize Mairead Corrigan Maguire


Young Roma and Sinti activists, attending a class in Human Rights promoted by Associazione 21 luglio and European Roma Rights Centre (ERRC), met the Peace Nobel Laureates gathered in Rome for the World Summit 2014 and delivered a letter to raise awareness about Roma and Sinti living conditions in Italy.
Dear Peace Nobel Laureates gathered here in Rome in occasion of the Summit 2014,
We are young Roma and Sinti coming from all over Italy, the majority of us is born and has grown up in this country and we are attending a course for activists organized by Associazione 21 luglio in this period.
Roma and Sinti represent the most numerous and most discriminated minority in Europe. And yet, we are the only people in the world that have never claimed a right to a land or fought a war. We are the “people of peace”. In Italy we are around 180 thousands and loads of us live in ethnic ghettoes, called “nomad camps”, where we are concentrated and excluded at the hands of institutions.
We are writing to you this message because we are tired of seeing our community strongly discriminated, marginalized and isolated in the outskirts of the Italian cities. Our hope is killed by difficult living conditions, our dreams stay pending and our expectations bump into a reality made of daily discrimination, denial and institutional racism.
We are under the attack of political messages that incite racial hate and of the mass media communication that too often forget that we are human beings with same rights and equal opportunities as set forth by the Universal Declaration of human rights with its article 1: “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood”.
We want to tell you, Peace Nobel Laureates, that our culture handed down orally for more than one thousand years, consists indeed of something else: a beautiful and very ancient language, a music that is one of the most ancient in the world, a craft that has unique elements, fascinating dances that are like “a ray of sun in a cloudy day”.
We, young Roma and Sinti, want to have the possibility of a better future when we will feel included in a society that we perceive as ours. We do not want to be anymore discriminated and marginalized by people that do not really know our culture, often described as pre-modern and criminal.
We, young Roma and Sinti, are requesting to you, Eminent Peace Nobel Laureates, to give voice and widespread our message of brotherhood, peace and mutual respect in order to build a better world.
Yours sincerely,
Roma and Sinti activists

Devolvere il tuo 5Xmille alla nostra associazione è facile, basta firmare e inserire il codice: 97598580583. E non ha nessun costo per te! Il 5Xmille difatti non è una tassa aggiuntiva, ma una parte delle tue tasse che in caso di mancata scelta andrebbe comunque allo Stato.

Ti basterà:
• apporre la tua firma nel riquadro “Sostegno del volontariato e delle altre organizzazioni non lucrative di utilità sociale, delle associazioni di promozione sociale e delle associazioni e fondazioni riconosciute che operano nei settori di cui all’art. 10, c. 1, lett. a), del D.Lgs. n. 460 del 1997”;

Come utilizzeremo il tuo 5Xmille
L’Associazione 21 luglio non accetta fondi da enti pubblici, ma lavora grazie al sostegno proveniente da privati. Questa scelta ci consente di portare avanti tutte le nostre attività, rimanendo indipendenti. Ed è perciò di vitale importanza il tuo sostegno!
Il tuo 5Xmille ci aiuterà a sostenere il nostro impegno affinché le persone che subiscono indiscriminatamente violazioni dei loro diritti umani possano in prima persona scendere in campo per reclamare i loro diritti di esseri umani e chiedere un cambio di rotta nelle politiche che li riguardano da vicino.
Inoltre ci permetterà di abbattere le barriere dell’esclusione e della marginalità attraverso una modalità ludica d’educazione. Con il tuo 5Xmille ci darai infatti la possibilità di proseguire con il progetto “Danzare la vita”. Un progetto destinato ad alcune classi di bambini rom e non rom negli istituti scolastici della Capitale.
