Wednesday, Nov 04 — Pavee Point was delighted to host an official Irish Presidency-associated event on Wednesday evening, ahead of the 19th European Platform for Roma Inclusion in Dublin.
Bringing together Irish and European perspectives, the discussion highlighted the need for robust implementation of policies to advance Traveller and Roma rights.
The event featured contributions from Carol Baxter (Assistant Secretary, Department of Children, Disability and Equality), Marcela Adamova (DGJUST, European Commission), Gabriela Hrabanova (Executive Director, ERGO Network), and (Anastasia Crickley, Minority Rights Group International Chair). Musical contributions came from Johnny Purcell, recent winner of the Older Traveller Artist Award, Elisei Vasile singing the anthem of the Roma people ‘Gelem Gelem’, and Mickey and Niamh Dunne.
We look forward to building on these discussions at the European Platform On Thursday and continuing our collective work for Traveller and Roma rights across Ireland and Europe.
