The Croatian Ombudsman for Children Helenica Pirnat Dragicevic warned in the Croatian Parliament that inequality is one of the key challenges in achieving children's rights, such as the quality of life that depends most on living conditions, place of birth, and that in this sense the most vulnerable are Romani children.
Roma children do not have access to a range of services, mostly because of the poverty of their families, said Piran Dragicevic, citing a positive example from several local communities where life can still be changed.
By submitting a report to the Croatian Parliament about the work of his office last year, ie the situation with the rights of 800,000 children in Croatia, he pointed to the high risk of poverty, to nervous legal access to the in-laws, such as healthcare for children and families in each region, towns and municipalities, where there is a big difference between children from the very start of their lives.
