Unstoppable Voices of Resilience | Exhibition Opening and Conversation with CoE Commissioner for Human Rights

An early evening with representatives of Roma Women and Youth organisations from Germany in conversation with the Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights.

Join us on October 16, starting with 17.30 CET, at ERIAC’s Gallery Space in Berlin, for an inspiring and critical exchange on the struggles, achievements, and visions of Roma women and youth leaders in Germany. This event highlights their unstoppable voices of resilience and resistance against the multifaceted nature of antigypsyism, and their commitment to building a just and inclusive Europe.

The conversation takes place on the occasion of the visit of the Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights, Michael O’Flaherty, to Germany.
