The Social View of the Roma People in Spain
Through this study, we have been able to review the main areas of social life (employment, housing, education, culture, discrimination, gender differences, etc.) and we have found that the Roma remain largely unknown to a large part of the non-Roma Spanish population, which translates, among other things, into the persistence of certain stereotypes about the Roma that continue to weigh heavily and are at the root of discriminatory situations faced by Roma in their daily lives.

Discrimination and the Roma Community. FSG Annual Report 2021 The impact of the pandemic on discrimination and antigypsyism
The total number of cases in this year’s report is 364, a drop of 58 on the previous year.
