This Petition is to bring forward the long overdue recognition to Parliment and to Society of the deportation, murder and rape of our Roma Women that happened many years ago and is still being acted out but society choses to turn a blind eye. This is a thousand voices to allow us to voice our concerns on this ever increasing battle and severe injustice on our human and civil rights as women. Our aim is to have a memorial that has been designed and created by a Roma person, erected either in Dover or Portsmouth to honour the memory of the women and children gone before us whose voice was not heard, to assure them that the injustice that they suffered will be no more and the time for change has come now as we stand together united.

Parliament continues to ignore this atrocity while our momentum grows into a force they cannot dismiss for much longer. This surge of energy proves that society is finally waking up to the systemic violence we have endured for too long.

Finally. My grandmother would have cried to see someone finally speaking up about what happened back then.

Dont look away just because its uncomfortable. Everyone deserves justice regardless of who they are.

LONG OVERDUE. Why has it taken so many years for this to even be discussed?
