MADRID, Feb 17 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Julian Borja Hernandez studied hard to avoid the struggle his father faced, making ends meet as a market trader. Now he tends the same stall and says his career prospects were stymied as a member of Spain s marginalised Roma minority.

A proposal aimed at tackling the deep-rooted inequality suffered by Spain’s Roma people, known locally as gitanos, won cross-party parliamentary backing at the end of last year.

ABUJA (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Nigeria’s Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala – an elite economist who has confronted corruption and kidnappers at home and risen to the top ranks of the World Bank, is poised to become the first woman and first African in charge of policing global trade.
Backed by U.S. President Joe Biden to lead the World Trade Organization (WTO), the 66-year-old Harvard graduate was dubbed “troublemaker” by friends and foes alike in Nigeria for her vigour in championing the poor and fighting the good fight.
