The Roma (gypsies) are often subject to inter-ethnic conflicts in Europe. Their name is part of the stereotypes, prejudices and growing racist discourse throughout Europe. The estimated number of Roma population who live in Romania is between 1,7 and 2 million, and the high rate of illiteracy registered among the gypsies leads to poverty and social exclusion. In Romania, the conflict between the Roma population and the Romanians is a reality in all regions where they live together.
