    Romani Women Social Inclusion

The paper presents the situation of Romani women by discussing and analyzing the relevant accessible research data for a more responsive and inclusive policy making. The analysis of the social position of Romani women as a group will be based upon the interaction of ethnicity, gender and class (at least). Meanwhile, the analysis also reflects on the heterogeneity of the Roma populations living in Europe, taking into account the different situations of the various Roma communities, but also the similarities of the phenomena affecting the social integration of Roma in different European countries.
