Violence against women needs to be talked about! This is especially true in the Roma community, where this topic has been a long-standing taboo and is often downplayed. In five Czech cities, we will, among other things, make Roma women aware that domestic violence is in no way part of Roma traditions and that has no place in any society. As relevant data on violence against women in the Roma community is still missing in the Czech Republic, we are also planning to conduct research.

Our world has witnessed many historical injustices against the Roma: from the tragic Romani Holocaust through restricted rights, to the absence of Roma representation in the arts, or the non-existent teaching of Romani history. Thanks to the principles of transitional justice, the international Jekhipe project revisits painful moments in Roma history, to name them and restore Roma people their dignity. In addition, it focuses on addressing systemic barriers that Roma constantly face in everyday life.

The Khamoro World Roma Festival presents Romani culture to the general public from the CZ and abroad in all its dimensions and forms. It proves that Romani culture is a full-fledged part of the Czech and world cultural heritage.

The Romani women's group Manushe is an informal group operating under the banner of Slovo 21 since 2000. The group’s motto is "Education, self-confidence, emancipation”, and it develops its activities in this spirit.

The Gavoro project which focuses on supporting Romani literature and Romani writers. Within the framework of this project, the club of Romani writers Paramisara was established, with members receiving continuous support.

Slovo 21 is a member of the Ergo NETWORK, as one of 31 non-governmental, non-profit organizations from 20 countries working in the field of Roma inclusion. .In addition to the employment campaign, we focus on strengthening the capacity of small local Roma NGOs.

Based on the prototype of the female Roma group Manushe, local groups of girls aged 14-18 were established. Like the older members, the young girls are given space for self-realization. The more senior group members motivate them, encourage them to participate actively and to take part in events or campaigns.

The project will establish a new full-time Roma advisor at the Prague 3 District Office. The Roma advisor will make a significant contribution to the integration of the Roma community in this region where this minority is the largest national minority. The Roma advisor will make a significant contribution to the integration of the Roma community.

Supporting young Roma in various areas is one of the main goals of our organization. In the more than 20 years of the Khamoro World Roma Festival, we have accumulated a wealth of experience and enabled young Roma to participate in the festival's planning and implementation phases. The Khamoro program shares this experience. It involves training in cultural management that helps to professionalize young Roma, allowing them afterwards to implement cultural projects.

Based on the experience gained so far, we are developing a new project that focuses on strengthening the competencies of the Roma employees of our organization in the field of advocacy. Advocacy is a prerequisite for their active participation in formulating the needs and promoting the interests of the Roma community at the local level.
