This report details the challenges and progress made by the North Macedonian Government with regards to Romani children in state care since its launch of the National Strategy on Deinstitutionalisation 2018–2027.

This report details problems in the Ukrainian state care system for Romani children, both before and after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation in February 2022. The research was based on research conducted by the ERRC which includes a series of interviews with Romani families, civil society activists, and representatives of children’s services, as well as high-ranking officials.

This report is a summary and analysis of monitoring and reporting carried out by the ERRC’s ‘Roma Rights Defenders’ volunteer section in Albania, Serbia, Turkey, and Ukraine between November 2020 and August 2021. It contains data from reporting activities the volunteer researchers carried out using report functions embedded within major social media networks, as well as analysis by ERRC staff and volunteer coordinators on the online hate speech profile of each country. It is likely the first data-driven picture of online hate speech specifically targeted against Roma in Europe.
