Some Roma women and girls continue to face discrimination in various areas of their lives, from health care to employment and education among others. They also have limited opportunities to participate in decision-making at the local level or in the country's political life. We are pleased to present you a video about the equality and active participation of Roma women in Ukraine. All video heroines have participated in Roma political schools in Ukraine and are active Roma activists. The video was prepared with the support of the Council of Europe, namely the Roma and Travelers Team.

Online presentation on codification of Romani language in Ukraine

The project "Strengthening the protection of national minorities, including Roma, and minority languages in Ukraine" in cooperation with the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, the European Roma Institute of Art and Culture (ERIAC), Roma civil society and the Institute of Pedagogy of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine conducts a number of activities on the development and codification of the Roma language in Ukraine.

The Romani language is protected by the European Charter of Regional or Minority Languages, the purpose of which is "the protection and development of historical regional and minority languages in Europe." The Committee of Experts calls on all member-states of the Council of Europe to strengthen the protection and development of the Romani language, as part of the European cultural heritage, in all spheres, in particular in education and cultural life. The development and preservation of the Romani language is an important element of the socio-political inclusion of the Romani community in Ukraine.

In response to the needs identified by member-states regarding the Romani language, the Council of Europe has been working for the past two years on the development of a Romani language curriculum for primary schools.
