Project Summary

„…They steel like ravens, are afraid of hard work and a peoples of restless nomads…“ – if it comes to „gypsies“, we are quick with prejudices. However, it is even harder that they can be mobilised at any time which is proven by regular riots and by their actual living conditions in a sad way …

„Roma HEALTH Care“ aimed at:

– analysing the actual situation in the fields health protection, cancer prevention, vaccinations, prevention of addiction and
treatment in case of addiction, sex education and contraception, hygiene by targeted surveys and interviews in Roma communities
of the partner countries;
– identifying examples of good practise with European transfer potential;
– investigating the most urgent needs for actions in these fields with Roma and Roma organisations, experts and stakeholders that
can be covered by targeted activities in the frame of European projects and
– developing concepts for according follow-up projects.

Their implementation will contribute to

* improving the hygienic situation in the living environment of Roma;
* increasing the health competence of Roma;
* initiating the participation in cancer check-ups and vaccinations;
* promoting sexual education and raising the subject contraception;
* raising the subject addiction and to developing effective addiction prevention measures;
* increasing the competences of adult educators in the named fields and to
* improving the interdisciplinary co-operation with relevant stakeholders and civil society organisations.
