For International Women's Day 2009, the Romedia Foundation and Amnesty International created a video campaign about Roma women with the support of Duna Television and the Decade of Roma Inclusion.
The Budapest-based Romedia Foundation and Amnesty International have created a video campaign about Roma women with the support of Duna Television and the Decade of Roma Inclusion. The four-minute spot, produced for International Women’s Day 2009, features personal statements by five Roma human rights activists and footage from Roma settlements across Europe.
In these times of crisis, as extremism and violence threaten Roma in Hungary and elsewhere, the campaign urges the public to respect Roma in all their diversity.
