The Romani people, also known as Roma, have a long and diverse history. In Brazil, they face significant challenges, including prejudice and lack of recognition in official statistics. Many Romani people have lived in São Paulo, where discrimination often impacts their lives.
For example, residents of Romani camps struggle with access to education and health care due to their living conditions. Activists like Nicolas Ramanush are advocating for better representation and policies to support Romani communities. They argue that recognizing these communities is essential for addressing their needs.
Moreover, a bill has been introduced to include Romani culture in school curriculums, similar to what is done for Indigenous and Black communities. This could help reduce stigma and promote understanding of their culture and history.
