Summary/Abstract: “Roma” Terminology. The accurate use of terminology can help those working at local level to understand the human rights angle in their work and prevent them from being preoccupied only with its social aspects. It is only in this way that all current advocacy and lobbying successes achieved on the international level can show their value. The issue of the human rights of people, who are men and women of Romani origin, has to be the focus. The very first step is to change the way we understand our approaches … and our terminology.
