Domari Society of Gypsies in Jerusalem

Israel

Domari Society for the Gypsies in Jerusalem is a non-profit organisation aims at combating the major issues facing the Domari Society of Gypsiescommunity such as severe discrimination, cultural marginalization and poverty. Their work focus is on empowerment, job training for Domari Gypsies women and education for Domari children with the aim to effectively contest discrimination and poverty through self-empowerment and achievement. In addition to poverty and low incomes, the global pandemic has left many Domari teenage mothers and young ladies jobless. With no access to government aid, the only income is through sales of their homemade crafts or low income jobs like housekeeping and gardening.
