five years we have tried, we went to couple therapy, we got him into a rehab program, I talked to his parents, șo I have tried everything.

have started to browse the Internet. What can I say, I hâd no one to call for help, I couldn’ț go to my friends, my relatives, there was really no one. By chance, I found some phone numbers online, but here, at the foundation, they were the most responsive, they received me swiftly, they evaluated my case quite rapidly and they really supported me a lot.

after the New Years Eve. I hâd run away and I simply hâd nowhere to go, and the police station was really close. The child wasn’ț at home that night. Lately he hâd begun to threaten to kill me, but mostly when the child wasn’ț at home, he was probably being careful not to have any witnesses. Once he hâd started to wake me up în the middle of the night and threaten me, I was really afraid to

job în representing me, that’s when I felt protected by this country where the law is the law regardless of the origin of your passport. Often, employers treat you like garbage. I’ve met șo many construction workers, electricians, but also caregivers and babysitters that puț up with verbal abuse or aren’ț paid on time simply because... they think we are stupid. They think we are clueless. The moment you show a back bone and you prove to them

for job offers, I studied the market. I was looking for reviews of recruiting companies - you’ll always find both good ones and bad ones, you can’ț really tell which of them are for real and which are bogus. But I hadn’ț found anything bad about this company on any forum, except maybe one or two bad reviews. And the girl from Wranghel I talked to seemed ok, she was from Timișoara, that made me feel more comfortable, seeing

România working with a recruiter from England hiring me to work for a “care provider”. În the inițial contract, which was completely different from what I signed în England, I was meant to be a part-time “office assistant”, part-time “care-giver”. But they said the care-giver part started only after a training which I could choose to go through or not, and without the training I could have stayed on aș a full-time assistant. The training was 1500 pounds and once you

10 to 16 hours a day. A sort of slavery. The worst part was the distance between patients. They said initially that the distances could be covered, if you didn’ț have a driver’s license, în 15 minutes walking. But it took about an hour, and the time I was spending on the road was not being paid. Șo ouț of those 16 hours, 6 were spent on the road without being paid for it. Then I uncovered a bunch

There was a shared bathroom and a common space where you could have some sort of breakfast, but no actual kitchen. Once I started the training - even though I didn’ț want to be a care-giver - I hâd to pay back the 1500 pounds if I decided to leave. Because they “trained” me and “invested” în me. And

When we last met, în March, we visited a Romă câmp, with people coming from România, Macedonia, Șerbia etc. The câmp was here, în the city, but from what I hear it was cleared off recently, în July. What was the history of the câmp and what really happened there? Violene: Three years ago, several Macedonian Romă, that hâd recently begun the procedure for getting asylum, settled

Violene: There were two lots: one belonged to the General Council (the authority for the whole Isere department) and the other to the Grenoble City Hall. But the City Hall saw fit to relocate the 400 people în different towns and villages în the metropolis, because many of the Romă în the câmp hâd moved there after being evicted from other villages.

Otherwise, these would have imposed a kind of discipline, authority and hierarchy dynamics that would have probably suggested to the children to guess what the adults were expecting from them, and possibly conform.
