Bujanovac, Serbia: 70 Roma children were given packages by an anonymous pop artist at a New Year's party

On January 3, 2024, in Bujanovac, after unsuccessful attempts to get Christmas packages for the children from the Roma community from Bujanovac, who attend the preparatory preschool program, a pop artist contacted the teacher Shuki Demirović and donated 70 packages worth 46,400 dinars.

As the New Year approached, we asked for help with the packages, but we were running out of time. We wrote to the addresses of several humanitarian organizations, but unfortunately no one wanted to help the Roma children in Bujanovac - says the educator Shuki Demirovic, who contacted us through the Java Bujanovacchi application, for the Bujanovački portal.

After unsuccessful attempts to make the smallest members of his community happy for the holidays, Demirovic finally received good news.

- We were first contacted by the IDC organization from Belgrade, whose members told us that they could help by donating shoes for children. The next day I received feedback from a pop artist, who I can say is a great humanitarian and a man with a big heart, who gave away 70 packages, but wanted to remain anonymous - explains Demirović.

According to him, the value of the package is 46,400 dinars.

- I would like to use this opportunity to thank our donor, on behalf of the children, parents, teachers and the director of the school. At the same time, I congratulate everyone on the New Year and the New Year's holidays - says Demirovic for Portalor. Bujanovachke.

Is ethnicity a predictor of poverty?

Poverty is not a characteristic of nationality, but a consequence of complex social, economic and political factors. It includes factors such as inequality, lack of opportunities, poor quality education and health care, inadequate infrastructure, lack of jobs and social security. Poverty can also be a consequence of a bad situation, when the state does not function in the interest of all citizens and does not adopt effective policies to overcome poverty. That is why it is important to work on overcoming poverty and strengthening economic and social equality for all citizens through joint efforts of the state, society and the international community.

In addition, poverty can also be a consequence of discrimination and inequality, where some communities, including minorities, women, LGBT and other marginalized groups, have fewer opportunities and less access to resources than others. Stereotypes and prejudices also play a significant role in deepening poverty and discrimination in these communities.

In order to overcome poverty, it is necessary to implement systemic changes in the economic and political structure, as well as the involvement of all relevant stakeholders in the work to overcome poverty. An interdisciplinary approach is needed that includes the economic, social, political and cultural dimensions, as well as the inclusion of all communities in the decision-making process.

Poverty cannot be overcome overnight, but requires long-term and persistent efforts by all relevant actors. It is important to start with the most vulnerable communities and work on strengthening their capacities, in order to increase their chances of successfully facing the challenges of poverty.

Of course, it is important to emphasize that poverty is not a characteristic of nationality, but a consequence of complex social, economic and political factors and that it can only be overcome through systemic and long-term changes in the economic, social and political structure.

 

 

Serbia: Alarming warning - More and more young Roma aged 28-29 have premature heart attacks, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes

The famous internist-cardiologist from Leskovac, Dr. Miodrag Miladinović-Mici, has more than two decades of work experience, has an excellent approach and communication with patients and is very dedicated to their treatment.

What can be said from the clinical experience, covered over decades from the coronary department of the Leskovac General Hospital, is that the clinical impression is that members of the Roma population at an earlier age are more likely to have heart attacks and coronary diseases, that women who belong of the Roma population have diabetes and kidney failure at an earlier age, already in their thirties.

"However, the clinical impression, which can be easily translated into statistics, is that members of the Roma population suffer the same pain as those for whom the statistical analysis was made, namely in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania and in Croatia, where by the way there are many Roma and they form a human social community in which they live, and they have been analyzed to show that people with the same blood pressure, the same cholesterol, the same body weight, the so-called Caucasians, compared to members of the Roma population, members of the Roma population have more cardiovascular diseases. Why is that. There are several reasons. One is genetic. Translated simply, they have premature angina pectoris, premature myocardial infarction, premature aortic dissection because we have, I can tell you from experience, it's not at all strange that men at twenty-eight, twenty-nine years old have heart attacks, so it's about members of the Roma population. It means genetic predisposition.

When we talk about shortening the life of members of the Roma population, it means that the life expectancy is shorter than that of the Caucasians, let's call them all that, I won't use other terms now, but it's a medical term, infectious causes affect everywhere. And without physical activity, with fast food, with sweets, you have this waist circumference, it creates metabolic syndrome, it is pre-diabetes and we are talking about the female population, they move less."

Ramush Muarem - Cirko: The most dangerous source for spreading misinformation and propaganda are social networks!

Propaganda and disinformation are gaining momentum, especially on social media. In the past, propaganda was mostly used for advertising purposes, today it has penetrated into every pore of society, says journalist Ramush Muarem - Cirko, in an interview with CIVIL Media.

he adds that only with positive and realistic propaganda can we fight black and bad propaganda.

"During the corona, I published a sarcastic propaganda text on social networks that "only in Shutka there is no corona". That propaganda spread very quickly, however, the purpose of such propaganda was to point out to me that the Roma in Shutka are forgotten by society, by the system," says Muarem.

He emphasized that only with a strong campaign and media literacy will the citizens be able to get to know the bad side of propaganda and disinformation.
