A public discussion centred on an analysis of the policy of forced sterilisation of Roma women in the Czech Republic (previously Czechoslovakia) in the context of eugenics and the social state.

Among the invited guests are researchers into the forced sterilisation of Roma women in Communist Czechoslovakia and academics focused on discriminatory practices against Roma women at the Europe-wide level and the current situation. Another key topic of discussion will be compensation for victims, which is why we have invited both representatives of lobby groups and victims themselves.

Confirmed participants: Gwendolyn Albert, Celia Donert, Elena Gorolová and Angéla Kóczé.

Simultaneous interpretation into Czech/English provided.
