On April 8th, the international day of the Roma is celebrated worldwide, which is reminiscent of the first World Roma Congress in 1971. This day is intended to draw attention to the situation of the Roma, in particular on their discrimination and persecution, as well as the culture of this ethnic minority. In Berlin, district mayor Martin Hikel and representative: inside of the Amaro foro e. V. Roma flags at the Neukölln town hall to set an example against anti-Ziganism.

The Roma, also known as Sinti*Zze and Rome*Nja, are still experiencing discrimination and marginalization, be it in the form of prejudices or social exclusion. With the public hoist of the flag, those responsible for equal participation, equal opportunities for everyone and a harmonious coexistence in society want to stand up.

The international Roma Day has been celebrated annually on April 8 since 1990. This date is reminiscent of the first World Roma Congress, which took place on April 8, 1971 in London. Important symbols of the global Roma citizens' rights movement were introduced at this congress, including the flag of the Roma and the Roma's hymn.

This year's campaign day in Berlin will take place on April 8, 2024 at 11:30 a.m. on the town hall forecourt of the town hall Neukölln, Karl-Marx-Straße 83, 12040 Berlin. The event is open to all interested parties to raise awareness of the situation of the Roma and to set an example against discrimination.
