The project aims to reduce health inequalities among women belonging to ethnic minority groups in countries covered by the action. In particular the action will aim at increasing the capacity in: 1) identifying and understanding health inequalities; 2) mapping and assessing the existing institutional and non institutional framework; 3) learning from other partners and countries experiences through the identification and exchange of good practices; 4) identifying and developing relevant integrated strategies that take into account the specific  health needs and barriers encountered by ethnic minority women in accessing health services; 5) raising general awareness, stimulating debate, promoting information on health inequalities.
