What is it about?

This paper aims to understand the broader nature of urban Roma stigmatisation maintained by the non-Roma people and among the Roma, and better position the internalisation of stigma and the burden of Roma stigmatisation. The paper uses Participatory Action Research (PAR) as a research methodology, taking a disadvantaged neighbourhood of the city of Szeged, Hungary as a case study.

Why is it important?

The importance of this study rests on bringing all major dimensions of stigma together, highlighting what policymakers should consider when addressing them in the longer term.

Perspectives

We argue that the existing urban policies towards the Roma people need to be readdressed, with clear power given to the voices of the Roma.
