VisionIt is our hope that the Research Network on Gypsy, Romani, and Travelling (GRT) Peoples in the Middle East serves as a catalyst for fostering interdisciplinary, cross-community research to improve understanding of GRT groups across the Middle East.
The GRT community in the Middle East is currently under-recognised, under-researched, and under-assisted. This research network aims to further awareness and understanding, thereby contributing to evidence-based, culturally sensitive policies which respond to the needs and perspectives of GRT communities, as articulated by the communities themselves. We are committed to advocating for the rights of GRT communities in the Middle East. |
