EU Platform against Trafficking in Human Beings

The People to People Foundation participated in the meeting of the European Platform against Trafficking in Human Beings organized by the European Commission. Since the launch of this platform in 2013, we have been committed to transforming the experience gained from direct assistance to victims of trafficking in human beings, in support of national and European policies and strategies in the field.

This year we also brought the undisputed experience of all members of the ProTECT Platform (the national platform of organizations working in the field of the fight against human trafficking), EU Civil Society Platform and ePlatform against trafficking in human beings

What if.....?

What if I told you, you have the power to give someone hope beyond their wildest dreams?
What if I told you it’s right there in your hands?
What if December looked different this year?
What if we all just give this Christmas away?

With many thanks to our friends form Boxes of Hope, Cumbria #boxesofhopecumbria

5th November – International Day of Romani Language

All Romani speakers have at least two languages

In Europe, the Roma were “foreigners”, distinct from the local inhabitants not least on account of their own language, Romani, which is related to the Indian language of Sanskrit. For the identity of Roma groups it is important for them to have their own language, yet Romani is not an official language in any European country. Various dialects of Romani – there are thought to be over 100 – have evolved over the centuries as its speakers have migrated across different countries and settled in the various regions in which they live today.

All Romani speakers are bilingual because they always speak also the local language of the country in which they are living. However, many Roma have lost their own language over the course of their long history, primarily as a result of social marginalization and attempts at forced assimilation. It is estimated that roughly three quarters of Roma today speak Romani as their native tongue. The peculiarity of Romani is that it is first and foremost an oral language.
