International Romani Day: A day to recognize Romani culture and issues

International Romani Day is celebrated to understand the Romani culture and raise awareness of the issues faced by the Romani people. The day was officially declared in 1990 in Seroc, Poland. It was the site of the fourth World Romani Congress of the International Romani Union.

This was to honour the first major international meeting of Romani representatives from 7-12 April in Chelsfield near London. Pope John Paul II had asked his followers to treat Romanis with respect and compassion.

Adam Ereli in 2004 of the US State Department had addressed the continual human rights abuses faced by Romanies and asked European governments to encourage tolerance.

Maud de Boer-Buquicchio, Council of Europe Deputy Secretary-General had addressed her concerns for growing Antiziganism and encouraged Europe's Romani populations to act to improve their poor living conditions which have been the result of widespread and longstanding discrimination.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2009 spoke of the U.S. commitment to protect and promote the human rights of Romani people throughout Europe.
