Για την Παγκόσμια Ημέρα της Γλώσσας Ρομά, 5 Νοεμβρίου


γράφει ο Γιώργος Τσιτιρίδης, Υπεύθυνος προγραμμάτων του SolidarityNow στη βόρεια Ελλάδα

«Μια φορά κι έναν καιρό ζούσε ένας σοφός Τσιγγάνος βασιλιάς, που αγαπούσε πολύ τα βιβλία και είχε πάρα πολλά δικά του, για να μπορούν να μορφώνονται οι υπήκοοι του. Είχε κι έναν γάιδαρο που τον κρατούσε δεμένο κοντά στα βιβλία για να τον μορφώσει κι αυτόν. 

Μια μέρα, οι ουρανοί άνοιξαν κι έβρεχε τόσο πολύ που σχηματίστηκαν ποτάμια και παρέσυραν ό,τι βρήκαν μπροστά τους. 

Ανάμεσά τους κι ο σοφός βασιλιάς με τη βασίλισσα. 

Ο γάιδαρος έμεινε μόνος μέσα στο σπίτι, χωρίς τροφή κι άρχισε να τρώει σιγά σιγά τα βιβλία… Και σαν τέλειωσαν κι αυτά, πέθανε κι αυτός. 

Μαζί χάθηκαν κι όλα τα γράμματα των Ρομ…» (Τσιγγάνικος μύθος περί γλώσσας) 

Η Ρομανί γλώσσα επηρέασε και επηρεάστηκε από τις γλώσσες όλων των Ευρωπαϊκών χωρών από τις οποίες πέρασαν οι Ρομά. Η 5η Νοεμβρίου καθιερώθηκε το 2015 από την UNESCO ως Παγκόσμια ημέρα της γλώσσας των Ρομά. Το 2018, δεκαέξι κράτη-μέλη του Συμβουλίου της Ευρώπης αναγνώρισαν τη γλώσσα ρομά ως μειονοτική γλώσσα βάσει του ευρωπαϊκού χάρτη για τις περιφερειακές ή μειονοτικές γλώσσες. 

Η ημέρα αυτή είναι μια ευκαιρία υπενθύμισης του πλούτου των γλωσσών και των ιδιωμάτων που προσφέρουν στους λαούς ποικίλους τρόπους έκφρασης. Οι Ρομά, θύματα πολλαπλού στιγματισμού και προκαταλήψεων, στην προσπάθειά τους να μην γίνονται στόχος ρατσιστικών επιθέσεων, σε πολλές περιπτώσεις αποποιούνται στοιχεία του πολιτισμού και της κουλτούρας τους και αποφεύγουν να μαθαίνουν και να μιλούν στη γλώσσα τους. Η γλώσσα, τα ήθη και τα έθιμα, παίρνουν τη μορφή καταπιεστικού παράγοντα, που τονίζει τις διαφορές, ειδικά στη νέα γενιά που έχει ανάγκη την αποδοχή, με αποτέλεσμα η γλώσσα με τον καιρό να αποδυναμώνεται και να χάνεται.

Είναι χρέος, σε μια πολυπολιτισμική κοινωνία ισότητας και συμπερίληψης, να στηρίξουμε την ικανότητα των Ρομά στην κατανόηση μιας ή και περισσοτέρων προφορικών ιδιωμάτων της Ρομανί γλώσσας που θα μπορούσε να αποτελέσει το κλειδί και όχι την τροχοπέδη για τη συμπερίληψη των Ρομά στην εκπαίδευση. Άλλωστε η εξάλειψη της σχολικής διαρροής και η κατανόηση της σημασίας της εκπαίδευσης αποτελούν έναν από τους βασικότερους πυλώνες του Συμβουλίου της Ευρώπης και της νέας Εθνικής Στρατηγικής για την ένταξη των Ρομά 2021-2030.

Το SolidarityNow έχει επενδύσει στις σχέσεις οριζόντιας συνεργασίας και εμπιστοσύνης με τις Ρομά κοινότητες. Στο πλαίσιο αυτό πραγματοποίησε και πραγματοποιεί προγράμματα εκπαίδευσης και επιμόρφωσης, μαθήματα Ιστορίας των Ρομά και δημιουργικής γραφής, προγράμματα δημιουργικής απασχόλησης για παιδιά και εφήβους καθώς και συμβουλευτική με θέμα τη γονεικότητα, τον θηλασμό, τη διατροφή, τα ζητήματα γυναικείας υγιεινής σε γυναίκες και έφηβες Ρομά.

Η εκπαίδευση και το δικαίωμα στη διατήρηση των ιδιαίτερων γλωσσικών και πολιτισμικών χαρακτηριστικών του κάθε ανθρώπου αποτελούν για το SolidarityNow προτεραιότητα και αδιαπραγμάτευτες αξίες. Είναι άλλωστε αξιοθαύμαστο ότι μετά από πέντε αιώνες διώξεων, μετακινήσεων, σκλαβιάς, βασανιστηρίων, ολοκαυτώματος, οι Ρομά σε όλο τον κόσμο κατάφεραν να διατηρήσουν μια γλώσσα προφορική χωρίς γραπτό λόγο και να αναπτύξουν διαφορετικές διαλέκτους σύμφωνα με την περιοχή καταγωγής τους.

ΚΟΙΝΟ ΔΕΛΤΙΟ ΤΥΠΟΥ | Παιδιά χωρίς χαρτιά, παιδιά σε κίνδυνο, μέχρι πότε;


Το Δίκτυο Συνηγορίας για τα Δικαιώματα του Παιδιού (Child Rights Advocacy Network – CRAN), και οι οργανώσεις της Κοινωνίας των Πολιτών που το αποτελούν έχουν εδώ και χρόνια διαπιστώσει και επισημάνει τη συστημική έλλειψη ενός καθεστώτος προστασίας που να εγγυάται την άνευ διακρίσεων προστασία όλων  των ασυνόδευτων παιδιών. Ως αποτέλεσμα αυτού του κενού, τα παιδιά δεν έχουν τρόπο να λάβουν τα απαραίτητα νομιμοποιητικά έγγραφα που απαιτούνται για την πρόσβαση στα δικαιώματά τους, με αποτέλεσμα  να παραμένουν εκτεθειμένα σε  σειρά προβλημάτων.

Οι διαδικαστικές προϋποθέσεις για τη χορήγηση άδειας διαμονής στα ασυνόδευτα παιδιά, καθώς και σε όσα από αυτά έχουν πρόσφατα ενηλικιωθεί, η έλλειψη  ταξιδιωτικών ή άλλων ταυτοποιητικών εγγράφων, η ενδεχόμενη σύνδεσή της με την πρόσβαση στην εκπαίδευση και την εργασία είναι ζητήματα που οδηγούν τα ασυνόδευτα παιδιά στην περιθωριοποίηση και πολύ συχνά τα καθιστούν θύματα κάθε είδους εκμετάλλευσης, καθώς αφήνουν “στο περιθώριο” μεγάλο αριθμό ασυνόδευτων παιδιών χωρίς χαρτιά.

Έχοντας υπόψη τόσο τη σοβαρότητα αυτών των προβλημάτων όσο και την επιτυχημένη αντιμετώπιση του ζητήματος σε άλλες χώρες της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης, όπως στην Ιταλία και την Ισπανία, είναι επιτακτική ανάγκη η ελληνική Πολιτεία να επιληφθεί του προβλήματος και να θεσπίσει ειδική άδεια διαμονής για όλα τα ασυνόδευτα παιδιά, καθώς και για όσα από αυτά ενηλικιώνονται, τουλάχιστον μέχρι τη συμπλήρωση του 23ου έτους της ηλικίας τους. Η άδεια αυτή, μάλιστα, η οποία σε καμία περίπτωση δεν θα πρέπει να συνδέεται με τη φοίτηση και την αριστεία στο σχολείο ούτε με άλλου είδους προϋποθέσεις κοινωνικής ένταξης, θα πρέπει να έχει αποκλειστικά ως γνώμονα την παιδική ηλικία και το διάστημα που έπεται αυτής και αποκλειστικό σκοπό τη διασφάλιση του βέλτιστου συμφέροντος του κάθε ασυνόδευτου παιδιού που βρίσκεται στη χώρα.

Στο πλαίσιο ημερίδας που διοργάνωσε το δίκτυο CRAN στις 12 Ιουλίου 2022, με θέμα τη νομική προστασία των ασυνόδευτων παιδιών, αναγνωρίστηκε αυτή η ανάγκη νομοθετικής ρύθμισης από την Υφυπουργό Μετανάστευσης και Ασύλου κα. Σοφία Βούλτεψη η οποία δεσμεύτηκε ότι  εντός Σεπτέμβριου του 2022, θα γίνονταν ενέργειες για τη ρύθμιση του ζητήματος.

Καθώς βρισκόμαστε στις αρχές Νοεμβρίου, θέλουμε να επαναφέρουμε την ανάγκη για τη νομοθετική αυτή ρύθμιση για την προστασία των ασυνόδευτων ανηλίκων και των πρόσφατα ενηλικιωθέντων παιδιών. Θέλουμε, επίσης, να εκφράσουμε την πρόθεσή μας να συνδράμουμε στη διαδικασία διαβούλευσης, έχοντας σημαντική εμπειρία από το πεδίο και γνώση των ζητημάτων που προκύπτουν.

Επειδή το τελευταίο διάστημα έρχονται στο φως ολοένα και περισσότερο ζητήματα παιδικής κακοποίησης και εκμετάλλευσης παιδιών που θέτουν στο προσκήνιο το ζήτημα της παιδικής προστασίας, θεωρούμε επιτακτική την ανάγκη η Πολιτεία να αναλάβει επιτέλους την ευθύνη της, όπως επιτάσσουν και οι Διεθνείς Συμβάσεις τις οποίες έχει συνυπογράψει το Ελληνικό Κράτος και να προχωρήσει στις απαραίτητες ενέργειες για τη νομική προστασία των ασυνόδευτων παιδιών και όσων παιδιών μόλις ενηλικιώθηκαν.
