"Madam President, Mrs Parvanova’s report on the social integration of women belonging to ethnic minority groups comes at just the right time, when the French Government is embarking on a huge operation to expel Roma men, women and children – the most disadvantaged and most discriminated-against citizens of Europe.
Roma women are the victims of double discrimination because of their origin and their gender. They are discriminated against with regard to the exercise of the fundamental rights that are the right to education, to employment and to healthcare. The violence they suffer as women constitutes another form of discrimination.
We must demand that all Member States respect the fundamental rights of the largest ethnic minority in Europe and, first and foremost, of these women. Forced labour, trafficking, forced sterilisation, child marriage and countless abortions characterise the lives of these women, and hounding them from town to town, moving them from one end of Europe to the other, will not improve their situation.
It is the duty of every Member State, including France, to guarantee the protection of these women and to guarantee the education of Roma children, both boys and girls. This is the key to their freedom and to their independence. To be free and independent, they need stability and support; expulsions are unacceptable."@en1
