We cannot control when people chose to use #Gypsy, but we prefer words from our language #Romanes, such as #Roma (= the people) or #Romani

Remembering the Roma genocide is vital to overcome the discrimination and prejudice still faced by Roma communities. ODIHR was glad to support @TheIHRA in developing their new teaching guide & we will work to ensure it is widely used ▶️ bit.ly/3ZwQU1n #ProtectTheFacts

Adequate funding is the first step in moving closer towards First Nations control of First Nations language revitalization. The AFN calls on the Government of Canada to act now to address the lack of adequate funding to reclaim, revitalize, maintain, and strengthen First Nations languages.
