Projects

With this project, we aim to draw attention to the unequal access of disadvantaged Roma as well as some other groups of the Slovak population to digital technologies - specifically the Internet, computers and smartphones. Limited access to these technologies and lack of skills in using them put them at an increased disadvantage in various areas of life. We want to contribute so that the responsible state authorities prevent this discrimination.

By this project, we aim to spread the positive stories of Roma who, with our support, have defended their rights and inspire other disadvantaged persons to actively defend themselves as well.

By this project we strive to contribute to eradicating discrimnation of Roma minority by active using legal remedies in specific strategic legal cases and by the implementation of other closely related activities, which are human rights monitoring and and advocacy for the rights of the Roma minority in relation to responsible state authorities.

The project aims to further address human rights violations against Roma minority in Slovakia through public interest litigation. 

The core financial grant of the Sigrid Rausing Trust foundation enables us to carry on developing our activities on the protection of Roma women’s human rights in the next three years - in close cooperation with a group of active Roma women from eastern Slovakia. Our activities in this regard includes human rights monitoring, strategic litigation before domestic and international courts, advocacy activities towards the Slovak state authorities and international human rights bodies and awareness raising of broader public about ongoing shortcomings.  

With this project, we further develop our cooperation with a group of Roma activists and together we strive to improve the observance of the reproductive rights of Roma women in Slovakia.

As partner organisation we cooperate on several activities of the project implemented by NGO Forum for Human Rights.

The project aims to improve access to water and other basic amenities, including sewage system, for Roma in segregated communities in Slovakia, reduce health risks linked to violation of their right to health and improve public health legal framework.  

This project aims to contribute to improving decision-making practice in this area through the active use and development of the method of situational testing for uncovering dicrimination in access to goods and services in legal practice.
