Romanian gipsy brothers

| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
| Life in Romania is not easy for most of the population. Life expectancy is low in comparison with western Europe (66 years for men and 73 years for women1). Poverty is extreme with high rates of unemployment, alcoholism, and malnutrition, and tuberculosis is a serious problem. The Gypsy people have the same difficulties as the rest of the population, but neglect of health and social care has left them in a particularly vulnerable position. To compound this isolation, their customs mean that they accept some aspects of health and social care, and they reject others. For example, a disproportionate number of Gypsy children are in institutions, and infection with tuberculosis is high, partly due to non-compliance with treatment. In addition, the prevalence of drug misuse among Gypsies is thought to be higher, and they are less likely to seek help for testing and counselling. The social situation of the Gypsy people is a stark reminder of the difficulties a minority population faces when they are discriminated against and stigmatised. |

Amor fraterno, hermosa fotografía. Me encantan estas escenas de la vida real, donde aún quedan sentimientos.
Well done.
its quite sad, that in contemporary Europe, there are still children who live in poverty, and the derelict state, of abandonment and homelessness.
gypsy children, and adults alike are dispised all over Europe, due to xenophobia, and the way they seem to make a bad image for themselves, as little beggers and thieves.
it's quite sad.
good photograph though, personally i think. it would have worked better in black and white. check out, my idea for the way this photo ought to have looked.
