Gypsy Roma Traveller History Month June 2008
 Gypsies, Roma and Travellers are the largest Ethnic Minority community in the European Union with over 12 million people. In the UK, they are recognised ethnic minority communities and number 300,000. They are also the most marginalised and continue to suffer extreme levels of prejudice and discrimination.
And yet they have enriched our culture in so many different ways.” The aims of the first GRTHM are simple:
- to explain the history and culture of the communities,
- to challenge myths and break down barriers,
- to celebrate the richness that these communites bring to our everyday lives.
