Summer Camp for Roma Children Cancelled Due to Prejudice, Organizer Says

A summer camp for Roma children has been cancelled after the organizers were denied access to their usual venue, according to a camp coordinator who expressed disappointment and anger over the decision. The coordinator stated that the children, who typically lack basic amenities at home, had access to their own beds, hot water showers, and sports facilities at the camp. She believes prejudice rather than stated reasons led to the cancellation, with many of the real motivations left unspoken. The incident highlights ongoing discrimination faced by Slovakia's Roma minority, the country's largest ethnic minority group that continues to experience significant social and economic marginalization despite various integration efforts.
