Pavee Point
Pavee Point (PP) is a government-funded non-governmental organisation based in Dublin, Ireland that was formed to improve the human rights of Irish Travellers and to bridge the economic and social inequalities between Travellers and settled people.〔Principles () Official web site〕 Irish Travellers are an ethnic minority group that originated from nomadic tradespeople;〔(History of Travellers ) Travelling People: Bolton Roots〕 although the Irish government does not recognise them as such.〔Recognizing Travellers as an Ethnic Group () National Consultative Committee on Racism and Interculturalism〕
Travellers have suffered a long history of ethnic discrimination. Over time, the subsequent social prejudice and disparity between settled and Traveller educations has economically handicapped the community. Those early disadvantages have since manifested themselves into an elevated dependence on social welfare, a high risk of poverty, and a low life-expectancy for Travellers.〔Walsh, Jim and Sarah Craig. "Illustrative Examples of Local Partnerships". ''Local Partnerships for Social Inclusion?''. Dublin, Ireland: Oak Tree Press, 1998. p. 88.〕
To improve the living conditions of Travellers and to preserve their cultural identity, Pavee Point operates in the following areas: public education, capacity building, advocacy, youth programs, research and policy submissions.〔Programs ("Pavee Point" ). Official Web site. 5 April 2011. Accessed 20 April 2011.〕 The organisation is permanently headquartered in Dublin, but regularly collaborates with other Traveller's rights groups throughout Ireland.
==History==
Pavee Point was founded in the 1983, when the founders purchased Freechurch, a defunct Methodist church located on North Great Charles Street, which now functions as the organisation's centre of operations.〔Vision. () Pavee Point Annual Report 03-05.〕 Pavee Point was originally formed as a training agency to promote skill-building and solidarity within the travelling community, but later PP's leaders decided to expand the scope of its activities to a national level. Pavee Point set itself apart from existing Traveller groups in the 80s because they framed their situation in terms of human rights: "-an ethnic minority experiencing discrimination and racism from the majority population."〔Walsh, Jim and Sarah Craig. "Illustrative Examples of Local Partnerships". ''Local Partnerships for Social Inclusion?''. Dublin, Ireland: Oak Tree Press, 1998. p. 88.〕
