We remain committed to supporting Roma communities and to challenging the barriers that prevent people from accessing their rights. Opré Roma! ✊

Citizens' Rights Project @citzrights.bsky.social · 08/04/2026

Today is not only a moment to celebrate Roma culture and contributions, but also to recognise the ongoing discrimination many still face — and the need for systems that are fair, accessible, and inclusive for all.

Citizens' Rights Project @citzrights.bsky.social · 08/04/2026

Brexit has not affected everyone equally. For many Roma people, it has deepened existing inequalities and increased the risk of exclusion — from housing, employment, and essential services. Despite this, Roma communities continue to show resilience, strength, and solidarity.

Citizens' Rights Project @citzrights.bsky.social · 08/04/2026

Through this work, we have seen first-hand how systemic barriers — including language, digital exclusion, discrimination, and requirements that do not reflect different cultural and lived realities — have made it harder for Roma communities to secure their rights.

Citizens' Rights Project @citzrights.bsky.social · 08/04/2026

Today, on #InternationalRomaDay, we stand in solidarity with Roma communities across Scotland and beyond. 💙💚❤️ At Citizens Rights Project, we have worked alongside many Roma individuals, families and professionals navigating the EU Settlement Scheme and its aftermath.

🌍 #InternationalMigrantsDay2025 #ItTakesACommunity Four years after the EUSS deadline, people are still waiting for decisions. Delays and errors have left this EU citizen unable to travel, separated from family, and living in uncertainty—proof that EUSS support remains vital.

🌍 #InternationalMigrantsDay This story is a reminder that people are still being left behind by the EU Settlement Scheme, even years after the deadline. Late applications, lack of information, and loss of funding mean specialist EUSS support remains essential.
