Strategii şi intervenţii de reducere a discriminării minorităţii de etnie romă din România: analiză critică şi direcţii viitoare
Strategies and interventions to reduce discrimination against the Roma minority in Romania: critical analysis and future directions

Summary/Abstract: Ethnic minorities have always been victims of discrimination, segregation, and unjust treatments, with consequences on different aspects such as health, psychological well‑being or income level (Baclija, 2009). The aim of this study was to analyse the interventions that were carried out in Romania in the last 15 years, and had as a scope fighting discrimination of the Romani population, by promoting ethnic tolerance attitudes, fair treatment and respect of the minorities. After data collection, the interventions were classified into three categories, based on a similar Scottish review carried out by McBride (2015). Results showed that the most frequent approaches were the ones based on education, followed by the interactive ones, and the ones based on public events aimed at disseminating to a vast audience the traditions and particularities of the minorities. The study analyses the dominant tendencies in Romania, their degree of efficacy – inferred on the basis of existing theories, but also their main flaws, offering recommendations for future actions.
