Why this petition matters

Started by European Roma Rights Centre

ENGLISH

Romani people are the largest ethnic minority group in Europe. We have gifted Europe with our cultural heritage, language, art and music. We have produced or influenced some of the continent’s finest composers, dancers, actors and artists, and today we are an integral part of the vibrant tapestry of cultures that make up modern-day Europe.

We want to be able to celebrate our distinct culture in the digital world as well as the physical. We want a Roma Flag emoji to be approved by the Unicode Consortium and made available on all platforms and devices.

Like the LGBT Rainbow flag, our flag is not representative of a country but of a group of peoples. We are spread across the world and have many different cultures and communities but are united by our ancestral origin, our solidarity, our Romanipe.

We will create an emoji design and a proposal to be considered by the Unicode Consortium. But we also need Roma everywhere to show that we want our flag to be represented.

Sign this petition to prove that there is a demand for a Roma Flag emoji!
