Question 14482 — Travelers

Summary

Mr. Romain Eskenazi draws the attention of the Minister Delegate to the Prime Minister, responsible for equality between women and men and the fight against discrimination, to the need to take Travelers into consideration in the implementation of the PRADO. In the press kit distributed on the occasion of the PRADO monitoring committee of May 13, 2025, no mention of Travelers appears, despite the strong discrimination that these populations suffer. The anti-Gypsyism of which Travelers are victims is largely the result of prolonged institutional invisibility in French public policies. This marginalization feeds and trivializes stigmatizing speeches, sometimes relayed by public officials, which maintain tenacious prejudices against this population and contribute to trivializing a form of racism that is still largely ignored. The PRADO, an essential tool for identifying and preventing discrimination, must recognize that experienced by Travelers. The precarious living conditions experienced by many of them constitute both a cause and a consequence of this discrimination. Thus, 35% of Travelers say they have suffered an attack of this type over the last twelve months and 5% say they have been victims of attacks. physical attacks of a racist nature, according to the same study. Such social hostility inevitably leads to hostile acts, such as hate-motivated harassment. Strengthening PRADO would promote greater respect and dignity towards this community. This situation is concomitant with the lack of institutional recognition of the discrimination suffered by this component of the population. According to the data of the intergovernmental platform to combat racism, less than 1% of the funding paid by DILCRAH to associations, both nationally and locally, concerns this population. This lack of support partly explains the low reporting rate: over the last five years, only 14% of Travelers who were victims of discrimination because of their membership in this community reported the facts or filed a complaint. This recognition deficit fuels a vicious circle of exclusion, mistrust and structural inequalities. Consequently, he asks what measures the Government intends to implement in order to better recognize, document and combat the specific discrimination to which this community is subject, within a framework of real equality, dignity and respect for rights.
