Youthvoice.ro/English: The legislative proposal for volutary sterilization (Slovakia) is criticized for being aimed against roma (gipsy) comunity

The Slovak Labour Ministry recently released its draft law on socially-excluded communities that aims to create MAPS of socially-excluded communities living in poverty and suffering from other maladies linked to exclusion from mainstream society which the minister say will be used as a tool to combat marginalisation.

The Labour Ministry stated in releasing its draft law on socially-excluded communities. The draft, generally viewed by many observers as a positive.

The draft attempts, they say, to ameliorate some of the problems faced by marginalised citizens, also includes some specific proposals that several MPs from the coalition government have already objected to, such as cost-free voluntary sterilisations and contraceptives.
