The Traveller Movement Update: Challenging discrimination in Greater Manchester. Yesterday, the Traveller Movement met with Kate Green, Deputy mayor of Greater Manchester, alongside key community voices and organizations, to address the shocking treatment of Romany Gypsy and Irish Traveller children. Representative included: Billy Welch Siobhan Spencer (Derbyshire Gypsy Traveller liaison group) Violet Cannon (York Travellers Trust) Martin Gallagher (Travelling ahead) Sally Carr(Streetgames) Josie O'Driscoll and Joseph Baker (GateHerts) FFT, LeedsGate, Irish Community Care Liverpool, and Irish Community Care Manchester. The discussion centered on the hostile environment created during the Christmas markets, where a massive dispersal order was used to prevent children from attending. This resulted in disproportionate and unacceptable treatment. Key issues raised: Safeguarding concerns, including the trauma experienced by children. Accountability and transparency and in police operations. The lasting negative impact on community relations. The disproportionate use of power and resources against children engaged in peaceful activities. The deputy mayor has committed to pursuing actions to ensure answers and address these concerns. Our collective voice calls for justice, transparency, and change to to prevent further harm and rebuild trust. Stay tuned as we work with partners to ensure the voices of our communities are heard and actions is taken. #TravellerMovement #Accountability #Transparency #CommunityJustice #TravellerRights #CommunityAction #MassDispersalOrder #LegalAction
