certificates for their children and, consequently, leads transgenerational statelessness. As I end my statement, I want to share the leadership I carry on my shoulders with those of you who have power to change by: 1. Collecting comprehensive gender disaggregated official data on the number of Roma in Ukraine, as well as on their socio-economic situation. 2. Providing civil registration documents and birth certificates to all Roma without documents. 3. By allocating sufficient budget in order to simplify the procedure of obtaining ID cards and ensure that this is done in consultation with Roma civil society. 4.Ensuring that all instances of violence, murder and hate attacks against Roma, are effectively investigated and that justice be rendered. 5. Last but certainly not least, we must remember that nothing about Roma can or should be done without Roma. It is therefore essential that Roma are fully included in policy making. Nothing about us without us. As a Roma woman said last year in this forum, we should not give a voice to the voiceless but rather pass them the microphone. I am hopeful that my voice today is being heard.
