Romania


History of the Roma

Roma-gypsies originate from India and at the end of the Middle Ages, migrated to Europe. In Romania they have had a very hard life for a very long time. They were used as slaves by the Romanian aristocracy. Not until 1850 was this slavery  abolished. Many of them then fled to the west; others looked for shelter in distant parts. Names of Romanian villages like Slobozia (liberation) or Amareasteni (bitterness) are reminders of that period. Freedom, however, brought them little progress, as everywhere they were despised, discriminated against and excluded by the Romanians and Hungarians. This is still the reality today. The Roma live on the edges of towns and villages, or in separate villages or camps often without running water, electricity and sewage. The current circumstances of the Roma in many other eastern European countries is not much better.
