Empowerment of Roma Women within the European Framework of National Roma Inclusion Strategies European Parliament Framework Contract: IP/C/FEMM/FWC/2011-002/LOT2/C4

This study focuses on the concept of empowerment of Romani women to analyse the existing living conditions of Romani women, interpret the national Roma inclusion strategy and to scrutinise good practices. The analysis shows that the present living conditions of Romani women in European Member States call for intervention. Romani women’s empowerment and gender mainstreaming approaches have to be fostered in National Roma Inclusion Strategies. The study included three reports. One general report on the situation in all EU-28 Member States and two country-specific reports on the living conditions and policies in Croatia and in Hungary.
