A group of Roma women activists from Jarovnice and Hermanovce, with whom we have been cooperating for a long time, has been nominated for the Roma Spirit 2024 award in the “Act of the Year” category.    

We kept our fingers crossed for the women, but unfortunately they did not win the award.  However, they certainly deserved it for their courage and determination, which they have been using for more than 20 years to promote justice for illegally sterilized Roma women. Congratulations to all the awardees.  

However, representatives of the women’s group, together with our colleagues, attended a gala evening in Bratislava on the occasion of the award. The co-founder of our organisation, Barbora Bukovska, came to support them personally.
