Abstract
Have you heard the word ‘antigypsyism’? It refers to a specific form of racism and discrimination directed at Romani and Traveller communities, as well as others who are stigmatised as “Gypsies”.For centuries, antigypsyism has shaped the harmful assumption that there exists a community living outside the mainstream, often unseen, unheard, and reluctant to engage with authorities. It frames these communities as rejecting conventional structures and societal norms; as “self-contained peoples” with their own rules and traditions, often seen as resistant, impenetrable, and fundamentally “other”. Despite persistent efforts to control, integrate or assimilate them, the distinct languages, cultures and traditions of many Romani and Traveller families have endured. It is for this reason that antigypsyism continues to position them as existing outside the accepted social order.
