Abstract:
Gender equality for Roma communities - is primarily concerned with raising awareness of gender equality among women in Roma communities through educational activities and campaigns, with the goal of empowering Roma women and girls with their rights, dignity and points of view. The main part of the project consists of educational activities, campaigns and support activities organised for Roma girls and women in selected communities, with the aim of increasing their awareness of gender equality. Success criteria: Strong female leaders and important collaborators There have been two collaborating NGOs from Slovakia. They are “EsFem” , which works with gender equality and the support of female rights, and the organisation "Equal Chances". The project has helped to develop strong female leaders in marginalised Roma communities who are capable of coordinating other women. Creative activities to promote gender equality The project activities dedicated to raising awareness about gender equality and eliminating gender stereotypes are not exclusively educational – they also feature a creative element. In the project “Roma women you (don’t know)”, children from a local art school drew and illustrated portraits of interesting and prominent Roma women, including a composer, a violinist, a singer, a dancer, an artist and a jeweller, as well as an activist, a scientist, a translator, a teacher and a doctor, and their life stories were described on a colourful wall calendar.
