A new association for Roma women was established
„Roma women from Baltic region“ association was established in 5 December 2017. The initiative to establish the organization was born in Lithuania, when the Council of Europe and Roma communities organized training sessions for young Roma people in November, 2017.
During the training, it became clear that the most vulnerable group of Roma community in society are women, and even children have more social security, not to mention the men.
Its aim is to promote the involvement of Roma women in various activities, help to reintegrate into society, to become a more active part, to solve their problems.
The Association will organize activities of non-formal education, civic education, professional development, events for Roma women.
