"days without bread are the longest days" - "being paid regularly, but my debts still mounting up anyway" - "hard to talk about, but when I did start to talk to others I felt no different from them and I wasn’t embarrassed" - "working full-time, but … not earning enough to make a decent living" - "being old and living alone. I am sick. I am afraid of loneliness … I cry a lot but try to look calm and collected when I go out." - "constant pressure. It wears you down. Nobody prepared me for living in such harsh conditions" - "stealing our future by keeping us out of touch with the knowledge-based society" - "waking up in bad housing conditions which saps the will to do anything" - "my children inheriting my poverty" - "every agency wanting the same papers. And more photocopies every time" - "being undocumented, so for you I don’t exist" - "what really wears homeless people out is time. Always waiting, always being on the go…"

European Roma Information Office (ERIO )

The European Roma Information Office (ERIO) has been founded in 2003 with the aim to establish and maintain a Romani presence in Brussels. ERIO aims to contribute to the political and public discussions surrounding Roma by providing factual and in-depth information in order to counteract discrimination and exclusion which the Romani communities have been suffering from for centuries and to contribute to their equal representation and participation in political decision-making.
