What is it about?

The project “Path to Dignity and Empowerment of Roma Women” shifts the focus from controlling policies to strengthening women as agents of change. Its aim is to build trust, confidence, reproductive planning skills and access to further resources based on women’s self-defined needs. It supports women in influencing their own lives, their children’s future, their communities and public policies. Activities include participatory research using HCD, planned parenthood support, the Dignity of Roma Women conference and an innovative link between social work and spirituality.
