Romani women in Macedonia suffer double discrimination -- on the grounds of their gender and their ethnicity, according to Amnesty International. In a report published today, the organization calls on the Macedonian authorities to break the pattern of discrimination against Romani women.
Amnesty International urges both the Macedonian authorities and the
ethnic Albanian community in Macedonia to ensure respect for human
rights following the killings by the police of six men on 7 November in
the village of Brodec, in the Shipkovica region north of Tetovo, close
to the border with Kosovo.
On this 55th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,
threats of new terrorist attacks and the dangers of weapons of mass
destruction dominate the headlines.
