The double exclusion and discrimination of Roma women concerns of all European Roma communities. The reasons for this lie in the issues of ethnic and gender equality issues. Discrimination and exclusion manifests itself in all areas of life. The situation of Roma women is worse than Roma men as well as women worse than mainstream European society. Roma Framework Strategy of the European Union insufficiently focused on their specific situation. Specifically refer to the other documents, but they are not binding, although delimit the future direction of the EU changes. The approach of the EU institutions presents to the Roma women in selected legislative documents allows to create an overall picture of this for which assistance from the EU, they can count on. Its scope covers many important aspects of Romani women. But this is not enough to help to fully remedy their exclusion and discrimination. As a complement to the problems perceived by the EU institutions should also take into account the fact that each external evaluation of cultural policies is always fraught with error transferring your own values. In addition, a major problem is the discrimination faced by Roma women from mainstream society and institutions. Therefore, a significant change and improvement in their situation depends on many factors. Undoubtedly very important are those that are associated with the cultural determinants of the Roma minority. However, do not underestimate the effort which must make the EU’s institutional system and society of Europe to reduce their level of exclusion and discrimination.

Over the last few years, the institutions of the European Union and numerous in¬ternational organizations pay special attention to the situation of Roma and Sinti in Europe. Discrimination and human rights violations that face the Roma are known and widespread, but so far none of the European countries and governments worked out examples and best practices of effective protection of the members of this community. In this article, the author looks at the overall situation of Roma women, who are more likely than other women exposed to multiple, cross-sectoral, multi-layered discrimination on grounds of gender and ethnic origin, and also have limited access to employment, education, health, social services participation in civic life. This discrimination occurs in the majority society in the context of growing racist sentiment, romophobia, antiziganism, but also in Roma communities themselves. Romani women are also more likely than other women are exposed to various forms of violence, especially domestic violence, sexual abuse and trafficking.

The article is based on the preliminary results of the research project “Women in Roma political movement and NGO sector. Pilot study of Poland and Slovakia.” It contributes to the discussion which approach to Roma mobilization is more efficient: one that assumes more or less homogeneous nature of Romani communities and treats their problems in a holistic, culturally-determined way, or one that prefers a diversified, socio-economic perspective and aims at solutions to particular groups of problems (respectively: to the problems of particular groups). The in¬terviews with the female Roma activists from Poland (belonging to Polska Roma and Carpathian Roma groups) and Slovakia present an interesting material regarding the issues of education of the Roma women, discrimination they experience (multiple and intersectional, among Roma and non-Roma), patriarchy, attitudes to women’s organizational activity, and the ways Roma women may seek assistance, especially regarding the matters of sexual life. The results indicate that women who belong to culturally different groups (that is those who live according to romanipen and those, who do not) may have similar thoughts regarding their situation while women who belong to culturally similar groups may significantly differ. This means that it is not “Roma culture” that determines the situation of women in Roma communities but rather the socio-economic issues and patriarchal cultural features that Roma communities share with their non-Roma environment.
