Working with the World Roma Federation (WRF) has been a truly rewarding experience. As the Outreach Coordinator, I’ve had the opportunity to be deeply involved in initiatives that highlight and support the Roma community's heritage and advocate for its recognition on an international stage. My role includes connecting with potential sponsors, building partnerships with aligned organisations, and engaging with community stakeholders, all with the goal of advancing unity and social justice for the Roma people.
One of the most fulfilling aspects has been collaborating with passionate team members and leaders who share a commitment to amplifying the voice of the Roma community.
Being part of WRF is not just about advocacy; it’s about understanding and honouring the Roma heritage while pushing for the global unity, recognition, and equity that all communities deserve.
