Description
The project ''Access to the rights of Roma Women and promotion of the rights of Roma children'' aims to support Roma women residing in Nea Zoi settlement of Sofades-Karditsa and safeguard their and their children’s rights by facilitating access to health, education and the labor market. In order to achieve this goal, information sessions, counseling and events will be held, and an Employability office -located in the settlement- will launch its operation. The info-sessions and counseling will facilitate school enrolments and vaccinations of 50 children who reside in the area. Through individual and group sessions by specialized employability counselors, the Project Promoter will support and encourage Roma women to be employed, either as farm workers, or by developing business activity through the creation of Social Enterprises. Lastly, in close collaboration with local authorities, 25 civil/public servants are expected to reinforce their Capacity on Human Rights issues and actively support the awareness raising events that will take place within the framework of the project. The aforementioned activities will be combined with training for capacity building of 15 members of the team, including cultural mediators and other members of the interdisciplinary team.
