At a time when most of Europe was veering towards the right wing of politics in the recent European elections, it was wonderful to see my beloved Sweden vote a formal feminist party into the EU parliament. The party even has a Roma woman as its representative.<\/p>\n

The Feminist Initiative (FI), grew from almost nothing just a few short months ago, to gaining 5% in the election. <\/p>\n

The party gained votes with its “Out With Racists And In With Feminists!” slogan.<\/p>\n

A Vilified Minority<\/h2>\n

Soraya Post, a 57-year-old mother of four and Roma, is all set to take a seat in parliament. One of Europe’s oldest minorities, Roma is certainly seen as one of the most discriminated against minorities on the whole continent.<\/p>\n

This was highlighted last year when it was revealed that police had kept an illegal database on Roma people, many of whom had no criminal convictions. That file included over 1000 children.<\/p>\n
