Abstract :This phenomenological qualitative study, prepared using the purposive sampling technique, the problems, expectations and difficulties of the Roma experienced in accessing basic human rights in Türkiye assessed. A semi-structured interview form was used in data collection, and 26 Roma individuals from Izmir participated in the study with the help of in-depth interviews. All data were analyzed by being coded in MAXQDA 2020. Based on the participants’ life stories, the results were discussed under the themes of Roma culture, access to basic human rights, an apolitical neglected group, and expectations of the future. It was understood that the participants basically experienced economic difficulties and problems intertwined with poverty and could not meet their basic human needs, such as housing, employment, education, and health. Accordingly, the study results demonstrated the importance of rights-based practices for the Roma.
