“…The study of B. Akkan, Deniz, and Ertan (2017) reveal the multidimensional exclusion of Gypsies with the manifestation of stigmatized spaces in Turkey. They argue that the dwellers, irrespective of their ethnic identity living in neighborhood of the most spatially stigmatized areas are prone to poverty and severe form of social exclusion.…”

Gypsies are an important ethnic group both in Pakistan and Turkey. They are in a more disadvantaged position as compared to other segments of society in areas such as housing, work, health, and education. In this study, employment opportunities and access to health services of gypsies living in Pakistan and Turkey are explored. The researchers delimited the study only to areas of employment and health sectors in both countries, with the aim to comparatively analyze the situation of Gypsies’ access to these services. In the study, qualitative research design and in-depth interview technique were used to collect data from respondents. The interviews were conducted with a total of 14 people (7 participants from Pakistan and 7 from Turkey respectively) including both male and female. According to the findings of the study, Gypsies both in Pakistan and Turkey are mostly excluded from employment opportunities and are pushed to work in informal sectors. Their access to health services is also very limited due to their housing conditions and active lifestyle. However, it has been observed that the conditions of Gypsies in Turkey were found better than the Pakistani ones in terms of employment opportunities and access to health services.

“…According to them the problems of integration of the Roma (Gypsies) are not related to race or ethnicity, but rather, to poverty and lack of education. Akkan et al (2017) argue that in Turkey the Roma have not been perceived as a different ethnic or racial category, but rather as a "low social class people" and that Roma neighborhoods hold stigmatized spatial identity. According to the empirical study of Lee et.…”

This paper presents the perceptions of silence in two Romani (Gipsy) cultures in Europe – Bulgaria and Finland. On the basis of field studies and two in-depth interviews, conducted in the towns of Mikkeli (Finland) and Ihtiman (Bulgaria), it outlines the attitudes of the European Roma people towards “being marginalised” and “silenced”. Silence is perceived by them in terms of “being different” and “being sometimes ashamed”. In the Romani culture there is a special relationship between “silence”, “pride” and “shame” as a specific worldview and a mechanism of constructing of both the personal and the collective ethnic identities. The paper also studies the phenomenon of self-silencing as a strategy of coping with undesirable situations that seem to disturb the mental wellbeing of two individuals. It underlines the need for raising the awareness of education within the Roma community in Europe and concludes that it is necessary to differentiate between “cultural” and “non-cultural” practices in the educational system.

“…At the decisive moment of the census, of the total number of permanently residing citizens of the Slovak Republic, residents of Slovak nationality, had the greatest representation (80.7%, i.e., 4,352,775), Hungarian nationality (8.5%, i.e., 458,467) and the Roma nationality (2%, i.e., 105,738). In the inter-census period of 2001-2011, the number of permanently residing Roma residents increased the most in absolute numbers (15,818). The Roma are the only national minority in Slovakia, the members of which do not occupy any territory in Slovakia, and they do not even have a mother country [39].…”

Social exclusion refers to the multi-dimensional and dynamic process of exclusion from different spheres of life [6,[13][14][15]. Social exclusion as a structural problem prevents equal access to resources, employment, regular income, and it causes poverty [6].…”

The Roma ethnic group represents an integral part of the Slovak population. Thanks to their specific customs and traditions, in combination with social segregation, they have kept several differences from the majority of the population. These differences have also been demonstrated in the conditions and quality of housing, which are the basic indicators of the economic and cultural maturity of an individual, as well as the nation itself. The goal of this paper is to examine the issue of the Roma population in the Slovak Republic, with a focus on the area of housing. In the historical excursion, the authors present the arrival of the Roma to Europe and subsequently the present territory of the Slovak Republic. They point out the importance of the Roma issue and what has caused the conditions and factors determining the development and position of this ethnic group at the periphery of the majority. Using the data from the Atlas of Roma Communities from 2019, they analyze the demographic behavior and reproduction of the Roma population, which differs from the reproduction behavior of the majority population, as well as the territorial displacement of the Roma. In the following sections of the paper, the authors focus on examining the housing conditions of the Roma community in individual regions of the Slovak Republic and the programmes aimed at improving the housing situation of the Slovak Roma.
