stop it discrimination, hatred, intolerance
the government of the Czech Republic supports this aspect of the struggle.
Statistics can be useful to prove both direct and indirect discrimination. In several countries of Central and Eastern Europe, for example, Roma children are constantly deployed to special schools for mentally retarded children. The ERRC survey conducted in 1999 in eastern Czechia showed that in the city of Ostrava more than half of Roma school-age children attended such schools, that over half of the total number of children in such schools was Roma and that the probability was 27 times higher a Roma child will be deployed in such a school in relation to a non-Roma child. Numerous Roma children who did not attend schools for mentally retarded children were concentrated in a small number of primary schools in certain suburbs of Ostrava; over 30 schools out of 70 normal elementary schools in Ostrava were "completely white" - ie, there was not even one single Roma child who attended those schools. In Ostrava, the ERRC used detailed research to prove disparity: we counted all Roma and non-Roma children in all primary schools in the district of Ostrava. The obtained graph - showing what many said was true, but few had documented it well enough - found that the city was dramatically divided along the national line, with most Romani children attending schools that end up without having the necessary knowledge to compete with labor market, earning good wages and leading a dignified life.
In some countries, state authorities block the efforts to reach such information. For example, while the survey was conducted in the Czech Republic, ERRC representatives often told school administrations that they did not keep a record of their nationality, or even that was contrary. It may be that people who say that they can not provide information about the number of Roma simply try to prevent you from finding out if the Roma suffer systematic discrimination. Even countries that qualify nationality data as "sensitive", which is why they are subject to limited usage data, do not generally impose such a ban on general group information. However, in some countries, in fact, the collection and provision of statistical information relating to national or racial affiliation may be unlawful. A lawyer can tell you if there are legal restrictions in your country.
The fight against remedies is a key element in the fight against discrimination. However, it is most likely that a court dispute in itself often has no impact beyond that particular case. Action against discrimination is best conducted in a planned and coordinated manner. Indeed, it is worthwhile to consider the strategy in which powerful friends - the media, international non-governmental organizations, inter-state bodies, etc. - consider allies. In the case of Ostrava, which was described earlier, for example, after the ERRC carefully documented the grotesque scheme of racial segregation in Ostrava's school system, it not only filed complaints with competent domestic and international courts on behalf of the parents of 15 Roma children who were subjected to segregation in schools Ostrava, but also: in Czech and English, published a comprehensive report on the segregation of Roma children in the Czech school system;
working with groups from the community of the place, both before and after the court dispute, to raise awareness of how such actions can strengthen the community;
submitted ERRC materials related to segregation in the Czech school system to international bodies such as the UN Commission for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination and the European Commission to Combat Racism and Intolerance of the Council of Europe.
