Stop Shaming
After producing a report about shaming we are now, together with Romani (Gypsy), Roma and Irish Traveller individuals, launching a #StopShaming social media campaign.
70% of the Romani (Gypsies), Roma and Irish Travellers who responded to our survey had experienced shaming or ‘scandalising’ from their own people. The high suicide rates in Romani (Gypsy), Roman and Irish Traveller communities have been partially explained by this internal shaming.
In the campaign, Romani (Gypsies), Roma and Irish Travellers are appealing to their own communities ‘to stop shaming to save lives’. You can follow the campaign on our various social media platforms.
