The European Roma and Travellers Forum (ERTF), the International Roma Women's Network (IRWN) and Phenjalipe, the Informal Network of Romani Women are calling for applications from Romani women from the Czech Republic, Finland, Hungary, Romania and Sweden to act as National Roma Women Contact Point for the project "Making Roma Women's Voices and Votes Count", implemented with the support of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland.

WHY... ARGUMENTS...!

The full and equitable participation of women in public life is essential to building and sustaining strong and vibrant democracies. There is strong evidence that as more women are elected to office, there is also a corollary increase in policy making that emphasizes quality of life and reflects the priorities of families, women, and ethnic and racial minorities. By reason of their gender and their low social and economic status, Roma women remain one of the most marginalised groups in Europe. They are underrepresented in Europe's national and local political bodies, and are excluded from the political process.

The current process of political participation in Europe represents a unique opportunity for Roma women to be part of the decision making processes and play a key role in improving the situation of Roma women, integrate and empower communities and support democracy.

The pilot project aims to support Roma women's role in their political participation at local, national and European level and to build their capacity to engage in effective political and advocacy activities regarding gender equality but also the empowerment and active participation of women and of Roma communities in general.

THE PROJECT

The target countries include the Czech Republic, Finland, Hungary, Romania and Sweden. The pilot project focuses primarily on increasing the effectiveness of advocacy activities with the political parties at a local, national and European level and in supporting Romani women in acquiring the tools and creating the premises necessary to participate successfully in all aspects of the political process.

Mottó


„A cigány kultúrának intézményekre van szüksége...
Én ezt egy kulturális autonómia intézményrendszerén belül képzelem el, amely nem szavakból, hanem láncszemként egymáshoz kapcsolódó intézményekből állna.”

***

Részlet Orbán Viktornak  2008. április 11-én elhangzott beszédéből.
