It expressed concern about the continued sexual exploitation of women and children in Bulgaria in spite of the efforts made to combat human trafficking.

The Islamic Human Rights Commission stated that the Roma Muslims residing in Bulgaria had experienced prejudice and endured some of the worst forms of racism and Islamophobia. Roma families were routinely denied access to education, employment, health care and housing. Studies had shown that Roma Christians were in a better position than Roma Muslims, which resulted in many Roma Muslims converting out of their religion to seek a better lifestyle. Bulgaria had not made available any organized support to the Muslim Roma minority. The Commission urged Bulgaria to provide the Muslim Roma minority with the same standard of living as other citizens, thereby respecting their rights. 4.
