Roma are often mentioned in the media and on social networks in a negative context, and in some schools there are still classes composed exclusively of Roma children. Despite the fact that 80% of complaints to the Commissioner for discrimination on the basis of nationality in 2021 refer to discrimination against Roma, I am sure that there are still a large number of unreported cases, the Commissioner stated. Therefore, joint work is needed with the aim of encouraging Roma to report discrimination. At the same time, work should be done on the education of the majority population, primarily children and youth, while special emphasis should be placed on employees in public authorities, judges, prosecutors, police, journalists and all other actors in society, concluded Jankovi\u0107.<\/p>\n<p>On the occasion of the International Day of the Girl Child, the Commissioner pointed out the gender inequality faced by girls, especially young Roma women, who are at multiple risk of discrimination.<\/p>\n<p>At the opening of the meeting, the Provincial Protector of Citizens, professor Zoran Pavlovi\u0107, Director of the European Roma Rights Center, \u0110or\u0111e Jovanovi\u0107, Tanja Jovanovi\u0107 from GIZ &#8211; German cooperation in Serbia and Aleksandar Jovanovi\u0107 from the Vojvodina Roma Center also spoke.
