Young Gypsy/Travellers are currently facing unacceptable levels of inequality, discrimination, harassment and abuse in every aspect of their lives.
Gypsy/Travellers still experience substantial racism and negative societal attitudes and assumptions towards their community, culture and traditions; resulting in discrimination at all levels.
Structural inequalities are a continuing barrier for young Gypsy/Travellers, principally the lack of opportunities that recognise their contributions as active citizens.
Across Scotland, and indeed the UK as a whole, Gypsy/Travellers continue to be regularly vilified by certain representatives of the media.
