OSCE Mission to Skopje provides legal information on social rights to Roma community

The OSCE Mission to Skopje organized a series of four legal information sessions for the Roma community in Skopje, with the last one held on 25 November 2013.

The sessions tackled a number of legal issues concerning the Roma community, including timely registration of births, access to social rights such as social aid and health care, and employment. The participants of the information sessions will share the information among their community members to promote the awareness and implementation of their rights.

The legal information sessions are part of the project on access to justice under which the Mission also provided legal assistance to the Roma community through mobile legal aid offices in the eastern part of the country, Gostivar and Tetovo, as well as in Skopje.
