MOTION BY COUNCILLORS M FRAMPTON T MCEWAN Ending Roma/Gypsy/Travellers Hate discrimination. For too long now The Roma/ Gypsy/Travellers Communities have been stigmatised, because of their own Ancestral and Cultural beliefs and ways of life. They face racial hate, prejudice, and discrimination, which is extremely harmful, and are one of the most marginalised and disadvantaged Communities in Scotland. Gypsy/travellers are more likely to be in high risk of poverty and social inclusion, there is educational and employment inequalities and healthcare inequalities which are detrimental to them as a community. I would ask all Councillors to agree that Perth and Kinross Council pledges to stand against all hate and discrimination of Roma/ Gypsy / Travellers, and commits to breaking down barriers within Education, Healthcare and Employment.
