International Romani Day
International Romani Day is celebrated on April 8th each year to recognize the culture, history, and rights of the Romani people. This day aims to raise awareness about the issues faced by the Romani community, including discrimination and social exclusion. It serves as a platform for promoting equality and advocating for the rights of Romani individuals worldwide.
The observance of International Romani Day began in 1990 during the Romani Congress in London. Events such as cultural performances, educational workshops, and discussions are organized globally to honor Romani heritage and encourage dialogue about the challenges the community faces today.
