Sterilizations were set in the seventies in the former Czechoslovakia in accordance with an eugenics ideology of controlling public reproduction and influencing quality of the society. Ongoing differencies between major society and Roma people lasted for centuries in spite of many attempts to assimilate Roma people and that is the reason why Roma women were the target. However, controlling reproduction of population is violation of human rights. For this reason, both countries had to accept apropriate restrictions. The sterilization policy was ignored for a long time, although complaints and activities of victims started to appear at the beginning of this century.

Hojný, Vojtěch ; Lovaš, Karol (advisor) ; Čeňková, Jana (referee)
O Roma vakeren (translated from Romani as "The Roma Speak") is a Czech Radio program that informs listeners about Romani life in the Czech Republic and around the world. It is produced by the Romani editorial office, which was established shortly after the establishment of the independent Czech Radio nearly thirty years ago, and by broadcasting it, the radio seeks to fulfil its role of a public service medium. In its practical part, this bachelor thesis deals with both the history and the presence of this programme in the form of a radio montage. The resulting montage is based on the answers of the programme's creators recorded by the author and archival sound recordings from the history of Czech Radio. The theoretical part of the thesis introduces the reader to the Romani national minority in the Czech Republic and presents the domestic Romani media, which almost without exception began to emerge after the regime change in Czechoslovakia in the late 1980s.
