It is a specific form of racism against Roma, Sinti, Travellers, and others stigmatised as \u2018gypsies\u2019. Currently, in European societies, antigypsyism is supported by high levels of social acceptance and a<br>lack of recognition and understanding of its existence and its manifestations. In order to better fight antigypsyism it is essential:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To understand that antigypsyism is not a \u2018minority issue\u2019. In order to combat antigypsyism, our attention needs to shift from \u2018the Roma\u2019 to the ideology and behaviour of mainstream societies;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To empower those dramatically affected by antigypsyism; Roma leadership, participation, and empowerment are crucial in order to overcome the long-lasting effects of antigypsyism;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To understand that \u2018Roma inclusion\u2019 will remain illusory as long as we do not confront antigypsyism as the root cause of exclusion.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EUJS believes:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>That antigypsyism is the specific form of racism towards Roma, Sinti, Travellers, and others who are stigmatised as \u2018Gypsies\u2019 in the public imagination that is under no circumstances acceptable;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>That fighting against antigypsyism, similarly to other forms of racism and discrimination such as anti-Black racism, islamophobia, and homophobia, is at the core principles and values of the European Union of Jewish Students and its membership;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The adoption of the EU Roma Strategic Framework on Equality, Inclusion and Participation 2020-2030 by the European Commission is a key guideline for Roma inclusion;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The legally non-binding working definition of antigypsyism adopted by all the 34 States of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA), including all the examples included therein 9 is an important tool;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>That discrimination should be defined in order to be able to fight against it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EUJS resolves:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Affirm its commitment to tackling antigypsyism in all its forms;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adopt and apply the IHRA Working Definition of Antigypsyism, including all the examples included therein;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Encourage Member Organisations, NGOs, political groups, governments and others to adopt and apply the IHRA working definition of antigypsyism with its examples;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take appropriate disciplinary action when instances of antigypsyist speech or action occur among its leadership, Secretariat, volunteers and Member Organisations;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Provide opportunities for educational training and awareness-raising on antigypsyism;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Publicly denounce actions that are antigypsyist based on the aforementioned definition.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Resources<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>More information on antigypsyism available at https:\/\/www.antigypsyism.eu<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Available at https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/commission\/presscorner\/detail\/en\/ip_20_1813<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>IHRA Working definition of Antigypsyism,available at: https:\/\/www.holocaustremembrance.com\/resources\/working-definitions-charters\/workingdefinition-antigypsyism-anti-roma-discrimination<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Motion 0520 General Assembly &#8211; December 27, 2020 Name of Union Submitting Policy: J\u00f6H &#8211; J\u00fcdische \u00f6sterreichische Hochsch\u00fcler:innen (AT) Preamble: European values &#8211; respect for human dignity and human rights, freedom, democracy, equality, and the rule of law &#8211; are threatened by antigypsyism and ongoing prejudice and discrimination faced by Roma remains a key challenge [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":196,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_surecart_dashboard_logo_width":"180px","_surecart_dashboard_show_logo":true,"_surecart_dashboard_navigation_orders":true,"_surecart_dashboard_navigation_subscriptions":true,"_surecart_dashboard_navigation_downloads":true,"_surecart_dashboard_navigation_billing":true,"_surecart_dashboard_navigation_account":true,"footnotes":""},"categories":[40],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.3 -
