Adjustments after the full scale invasion of Ukraine During 2022 ERRC had to adopt its activities to support human rights of Roma refugees from Ukraina and the Roma population in Ukraine after Russia's full scale invasion of the country on February 24th. ERRC carried out research through its network of human rights monitors in Ukraine on cases of segregation, violent attacks, ethnic profiling and discrimination against Romani refugees for a report published in February 2023. Furthermore material was gathered for a report on the situation of Romani children in Ukraine during the war. ERRC also participated in a series of international event to highlight the ongoing discrimination of Ukrainian Romani refugees; OSCE ODIHR meeting in Vienna, Council of Europe meeting on Dialogue with Roma and Traveler Civil Society in Strasbourg, European Parliament's Roma week in Brussels, OSCE ODIHR Conference on Migration, Human Rights and Inclusion and the International Conference on the Genocide of the Roma and Combating Antigypsyism i Stockholm. ERRC's work with the EU parliament included important input into the parliaments resolution acknowledging the plight of Romani people living in the settlements in the EU. Research and advocacy events during 2022 Audit of equality bodies (NHRIs) was carried out in several countries and conferences on this topic were carried out in Serbia, North Macedonia and Albania. Research on reproductive rights was carried out in Albania, Serbia and North Macedonia. Research on Romani people with disabilities in North Macedonia was completed. Fair trial rights reports for Serbia and North Macedonia were researched in 2022 and published in early 2023. Launch of Roma Rights Network and Relaunch of the Roma Summer School During 2022 ERRC launched the Roma Rights Network the Roma Rights Network - a network of organisations with a main objective to promote a human rights-based approach to Romani activism. The network contains 25 organizations from 20 countries and is partly funded through Sida. During 2022 ERRC re-launched the Roma Summer school together with OSCE ODIHR with 14 participants from 8 countries. Strategic litigation As of the beginning of 2022, the ERRC had a total caseload of 164 active cases, including all cases that were pending before a court or a body with adjudicatory powers. A decrease in the number of total cases as of the end of 2022 is a result of the number of resolved cases on the domestic and international level. As a result, the total number of cases at the end of 2022 was 136. Out of the total 136 cases, 81 cases are related to ODA countries.
The organisation European Roma Rights Centre works for Roma rights.The organisation's underlying theory of change is that when strategic litigation is complemented by critical masses of Romani people confronting public bodies with allegations of discrimination, using legal procedure and rights-based advocacy, it will have a threefold effect: - compel public officials to treat Roma as equal rights-bearing citizens; i.e. hold duty-bearers accountable; - step up promotion of the rule of law, and strengthen institutions to ensure equal treatment; - and strengthen the capacity of Roma as rights-holders, to demand, defend, and actively secure their rights as often as needed to combat injustice and achieve equality.
