Skinny, 14-year-old Pio has a lined, worn look older than his years. He’s watchful, chain smokes, hangs around his older brother when he’s allowed to. He doesn’t go to school, can’t read, but he can drive a car. He wants to prove himself to his family, especially his brother, and bring in money. They live, with other Romanies, in a small, messy, badly-serviced housing complex – The Ciambra – outside the southern Italian town of Gioia Tauro.
The New Internationalist is an independent bi-monthly not-for-profit magazine that reports on action for global justice. We believe in putting people before profit, in climate justice, tax justice, equality, social responsibility and human rights for all.
New Internationalist acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and recognises their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. We acknowledge that these lands were stolen and sovereignty was never ceded. We pay our respects to Elders both past and present.
