Social Justice for Roma, Ashkali and Egyptians (SORAE)
The second phase of SORAE will continue to support Roma, Ashkali and Egyptians (R/A/E) on achieving equal human and economic rights. A range of cross sectorial interventions on fighting discrimination, improving housing, increasing school enrolment and employment will improve R/A/E’s socio-economic inclusion – with special focus on children, youth and women.

Contexto | Despite progress R/A/E remain a left behind community in Kosovo with limited access to education, health or employment services. R/A/E largely live in poor housing conditions, segregated in settlements and face multiple forms of discrimination. Lack of awareness and weak institutional capacities are an obstacle for addressing inequalities and discrimination. The situation of these communities has deteriorated further due to COVID-19 pandemic. A large part of R/A/E are unemployed and will face increasing poverty rates due to inflation and slower economic growth, while Kosovo’s social protection system remains ineffective and inadequate to protect the poor. |
Objetivos | Progress toward a multi-ethnic and multicultural society in Kosovo has been achieved, where Roma, Ashkali and Egyptian people are treated as equals by the state and society, with access to the same opportunities as everyone else, and where Roma, Ashkali and Egyptian people know their rights and their responsibilities and are empowered to exercise those rights. |
Grupos destinarios | The main target group will continue to be R/A/E with particular focus on children, youth and women. At the organisational level, the project targets public institutions, private sector and civil society organisations. |
