Description: "The Republic of Macedonia's Roma population is still the most vulnerable minority in the country, a community that faces both institutional marginalization and social prejuidice. This briefing, drawing on the first-hand accounts gathered by Roma mediators working with their communities, provides crucial insights into their daily lives and the difficulties they continue to face. Despite official recognition, Roma remain excluded from mainstream society and experience discrimination in almost every aspect of their lives, beginning at school and continuing into adult life, with the majority of Roma unable to obtain formal employment. As a result, many Roma live in substandard living conditions, often struggling with overcrowding and without access to basic services. Roma in the Republic of Macedonia: Challenges and inequalities in housing, education and health outlines the range of challenges the country's Roma still face and includes a series of recommendations on how their situtation can be improved. These include a more inclusive approach to service provision, greater awareness of the specific barriers experienced by the community and an emphasis on targeted strategies to address these disparities." -- Back cover.
