Segregation Wall in Ostrovany Enforcing Separation of Roma Residents

Between 2009 and 2013, the municipality of Ostrovany (eastern Slovakia) constructed and maintained a physical wall separating Roma housing from the rest of the village. The barrier became one of the most visible symbols of institutionalised antigypsyism in post-2005 Slovakia.
