VOICED: Gypsies seen as outcasts in new, ultra-conservative Iraq

The video discusses the plight of gypsies in Iraq, who were once celebrated performers but faced ostracism and challenges after the fall of Saddam Hussein. The rise of radical Islam led to their profession being seen as immoral, resulting in social isolation and economic hardships. Militia attacks further increased their isolation, and many gypsies have migrated in search of better opportunities. Those remaining face grim living conditions and lack access to basic services due to societal prejudice.
