This resistance story is coming from Lilla who is a Hungarian Romani woman, calling us for cooperation against prejudices and racism:
“Hello Everyone! I am Lilla, Roma from Hungary.

The cooperation between us Roma’s to step up together against prejudice and racism. I encourage every Roma to be brave and stand up and fight for equal rights!”
The ‘Voices of Resistance’ online campaign invites every young Roma to testify their own resistance stories! Through this online campaign we want to empower young Roma people to share their good examples of staying active in such difficult times of crisis as well. Stay tuned, watch our videos and be part of our online resistance!
