Roma (2004) (37) photos, uploaded : March 18, 2008 © Photojournalist Carsten Snejbjerg
In Kosice, Slovakia, the Roma population took to the streets in massive demonstrations in 2004. The demonstrations took place after the government cut the social services considerably. In the eastern part of Slovakia -where the major part of the Roma population lives, this cut made every-day life extremely difficult. Many Roma families lost much of their means of survival.
