GATE Herts is a representative organisation for Gypsy and Traveller people across Hertfordshire. We are Gypsy, Roma and Traveller-led.
We work towards our communities becoming fully accepted participants in mainstream society while still retaining their distinct culture and heritage.
Our aim is to improve quality of life for our communities. We work in partnership to address the issues which affect our accommodation, health, education and employment.
Anti Gypsy Roma Travellerism is systemic, historically constructed, persistent and complex use of racist and discriminatory discourse, used in a narrow sense to indicate anti-Gypsy Roma Traveller attitudes and expressions of negative stereotypes.
It is a multi-faceted phenomenon that has widespread social and political acceptance and is a critical obstacle to the inclusion of Gypsy Roma and Travellers in broader society. It acts to prevent Gypsy Roma Traveller people from enjoying, equal rights and justice, opportunities, gainful social-economic participation, and achieving their full potential.
There are many victims that have fallen to this crime and we urge you to come forward so we can eliminate this crime against others.
We aim to put a stop to Hate Crime and Racism within the Gypsy, Roma and Traveller community.
We work with victims of hate crime within Gypsy and Traveller communities, supporting victims and encouraging reporting of hate crime incidents.
We work alongside GRT communities across Herts to promote a better understanding of the history, culture and lifestyles of Gypsies and Travellers.
