Objectives
General objective of the project: - To support Roma survivors so that they're granted all legal rights (social services and combating inequalities), and to promote tolerance.
Specific objectives of the project: - Identifying 100 Roma survivors, informing them of their legal rights and helping them obtain their pensions and the corresponding rights (see Law 189/2000:
http://www.legex.ro/Legea-189-2000-21669.aspx) by establishing the link between the claimants, the archives, the pension offices and the town halls.
- Improving their living conditions and thus improving their perception at the local level.
- Audio/video testimonies - which will be archived and used for educational purposes. It won't be possible for us to interview all the survivors. Some of them are ill, others are unwilling or unable to remember the deportations (if they were young children during the war), so they cannot be interviewed. Nevertheless, we'll try to interview as many survivors as possible. We estimate the total number of interviews to be about 60.
- Disseminating best practices, providing expertise to informal leaders, NGOs, and local authorities so that they all know how to deal with survivors who aren't supported by us for objective reasons.
- Regularly publishing all the details about the project, the situation of the beneficiaries, the trainings and, in terms of project coverage, the press review and other means of promoting our project on our project website.
