Young Gypsy/Travellers Raising Awareness in the Scottish Parliament
The motion
That the Parliament welcomes young Gypsy/Travellers from across Scotland to the Parliament on 26 March 2008; acknowledges that Gypsy/Travellers remain one of the most isolated and excluded minority ethnic groups in Scotland; commends the young people, supported by Save the Children, for raising awareness of the issues faced by Gypsy/Travellers among their peers, professionals and parliamentarians and for bringing about a better understanding of Gypsy/Traveller culture, changing attitudes and challenging discrimination; considers the importance of this work, and urges the Scottish Executive to support, through providing both community leadership and funding, the young people to continue to promote equality by challenging prejudice and discrimination through sharing their experiences with their peers.
