Egemen Yilgur is using media and a team of citizen journalists to empower the Roma people in Turkey to eliminate the discrimination that is at the root of their poverty and vulnerability. His web platform gives Romanis a voice and an opportunity to counter negative sterotypes and present a postive and accurate image of their culture. It also teaches civic skills to many young Romani; building the next generation of engaged, unified, and proactive leaders within the Roma community. As a first step towards broader cultural change in Turkish society, Egemen will unify various Romani citizen groups and key stakeholders around Roma issues.
