The Aresel platform is a civic initiative in the year 2018, as an effect of one of the biggest protests against racism organized in Romania against the weak participation and political representations of Roma citizens.
Aresel is a politically unrelated platform, the objective of which is to combat racism and social, political and economic inequalities between Roma and the rest of the population. Next, meetings with members of Roma communities in almost all of the country are our priority because, within them, the real needs of the communities are being debated. Members of the communities propose ideas for changing the situations in which communities are found, ideas that turn into campaigns of the Aresel platform.
So far, our actions have received the support of over 60,000 people, becoming the largest proactive Roma community. The Aresel platform supports the participation and public involvement of Roma communities throughout the country.
We want to put public pressure on the authorities whenever necessary, so that they respect their legal duties towards all citizens, regardless of ethnicity.
