www.prijatelni.sk (“acceptable for job”)/ Roma Employment Campaign - Fighting Prejudices
- May 2019 – ongoing
- NGO Divé maky http://divemaky.sk/
- The campaign invites to a special (fictitious) page that would make the CV more suitable for work interview. The page would “whiten” your photo page if it is too dark and changes address or name if it evokes a Roma origin and increases the chances of being invited to a job interview.
- The aim is to point to the fact that a CV sent by a Roma candidate has 50% less chance of receiving a response.
