The project Promoting Roma Equality in Slovenia and Slovakia – PRESS, in which EPEKA Slovenia is a partner, aims to promote and protect the rights of Roma facing discrimination by raising awareness among society and stakeholders, improving the implementation of legislation related to the prevention of discrimination and empowering Roma to seek legal aid in Slovakia and Slovenia.
