Cultura cigana: a prática do nomadismo e a concretização do direito à moradia

Abstract

This article aims to analyse the history and general aspects of the culture of Gypsy people, especially the practice of nomadism, its causes and consequences. Furthermore, it is proposed to evaluate the state actions of protection of these peoples, based on discrimination and segregation that suffer before civil society, as well as public policies capable of effecting the fundamental social right to housing, as an assumption for Human dignity of these groups, through positive benefits, respecting their cultural practices and options. The methodology used for conducting the research was theoretical-bibliographic and the deductive method.
