Political Incidence
Our advocacy strategy aims to strengthen the FSG's capacity to influence both public authorities and society, having a greater presence on the public agenda, with a more vindictive profile aimed at defending and guaranteeing the rights of the Roma community. To this end, the FSG works mainly by coordinating five areas of action: political advocacy, social advocacy, equality and the fight against discrimination, gender equality and international action.
Throughout 2022, the approval of the State Action Plan for the implementation of the European Child Guarantee 2022-2023, in which FSG played an active role in drawing it up, stands out; also noteworthy is the approval of the Comprehensive Law on Equal Treatment and Fight against Discrimination and the incorporation of antigypsyism in the Penal Code; we have promoted the approval of an European Parliament Resolution that urges the European Commission to implement a European Action Plan for the eradication of Roma settlements by 2030; the final configuration of the national and regional programmes of the Cohesion Funds, and especially the ESF+, have been central to our advocacy activity; we have worked through the EURoma European Network with the different Spanish regions and, as FSG, together with the operators in the Social Inclusion, Youth Employment and Education and Training Programmes, with contributions aimed at improving funding for the Roma population; in 2022, the process of presenting the results of the impact assessment of the 20 years of the Acceder Programme was completed at national level.

United Nations.
We also participated in the European Platform for the Inclusion of the Roma Population and in the organisation of the Roma Week in the European Parliament.

Also in this year we launched Dialogues for Interculturality, a space for public debate, in partnership with the Office of the Club of Rome and “la Caixa”, around the value
of interculturality and cultural diversity as factors in development within a Human Rights framework.
