Savez Roma u Republici Hrvatskoj „Kali Sara“ u partnerstvu s Institutom za strane jezike Vigdís Finnbogadóttir i njihovom inicijativom Roma in the Centre iz Islanda, započinje provedbu projekta: „Obrazovane Romkinje, osnažene romske zajednice!“.
Zašto projekt: „Obrazovane Romkinje, osnažene romske zajednice!“?
Prema Nacionalnoj strategiji za uključivanje Roma za razdoblje od 2013. do 2020. godine Romkinje su jedna od najisključenijih društvenih skupina. U romskim obiteljima prisutna je tradicionalna podjela uloga – odnos prema ženi je patrijahalan, često su marginalizirane i izložene diskriminaciji te zbog podređenog položaja nemaju mogućnost planiranja obitelji. Prema rezultatima istraživanja Uključivanje Roma u hrvatsko društvo: žene, mladi i djeca (Klasnić, Kunac, Rodik, 2020.) nepismeno je čak 17% Romkinja, dok je u općoj populaciji nepismeno tek 0,13% žena (DSZ, 2016). Za 27% mladih Romkinja u Hrvatskoj ključni razlozi koji dovode do prekida školovanja sklapanje su braka, trudnoća i postajanje roditeljem (15%). Od Romkinja koje imaju djecu, njih 50% prvo dijete rodilo je u maloljetničkoj dobi, a 17% u dobi mlađoj od 16 godina.
Što želimo postići projektom „Obrazovane Romkinje, osnažene romske zajednice!“
Budući da je jedan od važnih strateških ciljeva Saveza Roma u RH „Kali Sara“ sustavno promicanje obrazovanja Roma i Romkinja, primarni je cilj projekta povećanje obuhvata mladih Romkinja kod dovršavanja osnovnoškolskog i srednjoškolskog obrazovanja. 200 mladih Romkinja iz 6 županija osnažit će se aktivnostima projekta i educirati o ženskim ljudskim pravima, naročito o pravu na život bez nasilja, seksualnim i reproduktivnim pravima i zdravlju te biti motiviranije za nastavak obrazovanja. Također, ciljevi su projekta i podizanje kapaciteta romskih udruga i članova Vijeća romske nacionalne manjine za zagovaranje te međusektorsku suradnju s ciljem prevencije i podrške Romkinjama u slučajevima prisilnih brakova i maloljetničkih trudnoća, ali i drugih oblika rodnog nasilja.
Projekt se provodi u razdoblju od 1.2.2021. do 31.1.2024. uz financijsku podršku Islanda, Lihtenštajna i Norveške u okviru Europskog gospodarskog prostora i Norveških grantova u iznosu od 149.999,51 €.
„Educated Roma women, empowered Roma communities!“
Croatian Romani Union “Kali Sara” in partnership with the Vigdís Finnbogadóttir Institute for Foreign Languages and their initiative Roma in the Centre from Iceland are commencing with the implementation of the project “Educated Roma Women, Empowered Roma Communities!”.
Why this project?
According to the National Strategy for Roma Inclusion for the period from 2013 to 2020, Roma women are one of the most excluded social groups; there is a traditional and patriarchal division of gender roles in Roma families; women are often marginalized and discriminated; due to their subordinate position they have no family planning capabilities. According to the results of the research Roma Inclusion in the Croatian Society: Women, Youth and Children (Klasnić, Kunac, Rodik, 2020), 17% of Roma women are illiterate, while there are only 0.13% illiterate women in the general population (DSZ, 2016). For 27% of young Roma women in the Republic of Croatia, the key reasons that lead to school dropout are marriage, pregnancy and becoming a parent (15%). Out of all of the Roma women who have children, 50% give birth to their first child while still being a minor and 17% at the age of 16.
What do we want to achieve with this project?
The primary goal of the project is to increase the coverage of young Roma women in completing primary and secondary education. 200 young Roma women from 6 counties will be empowered through project activities and educated on women’s human rights, especially the right to live without violence; about sexual and reproductive rights and health, and be more motivated to continue their education. Also, the project aims to increase the capacity of Roma associations and members of The Roma National Councils for advocacy and cross-sectoral cooperation to prevent violence towards Roma women and support them in the cases of forced marriages and underage pregnancies, as well as other forms of gendered violence.
Project implementation will take place from 1st February 2021 to 31st January 2024. with the financial support of Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway within the European Economic Area and Norwegian grants in the amount of € 149,999.51.
