Fundación Secretariado Gitano

• Today Spain is examined for the third time at the Universal Periodic Review of the UN Human Rights Council, where progress, setbacks and areas for improvement since the last review, carried out in 2015, will be analyzed.
• The Fundación Secretariado Gitano has participated in this process, directly as an entity and through different networks and platforms, to put on the table the advances, but also the gaps that still today exist to obtain the effective enjoyment of all human rights by part of the Roma community.

Representatives of the Network partner organisations from ten countries as well as different European Commission’s Directorate-Generals with competences as regards ESI Funds and Roma inclusion addressed different topics of relevance to contribute to a better use of these funds to promote the social inclusion, the equal opportunities and the fight against discrimination of the Roma community.

Carried out by the Fundación Secretariado Gitano and the Spanish Red Cross, with the support of Fundación Accenture and the European Social Fund. 

• Back in 2012, Fundación Secretariado Gitano (FSG) publicly condemned a website that dehumanised and incited hate against Roma people.
• The alleged author of the website was identified as a young IT worker in Malaga, where his trial was held today.
