Roma Woman is ...

Photo Voice traveling exhibition of women's advocacy clubs within I Have a Dream project

04 Januaryr 2024

The traveling exhibition reveals the many faces of successful Roma women - part of the Roma community in the country who are the living example for others, and demonstrates the positive role models of successful women and girls in their fields of realization from six settlements with Roma community /Kyustendil, Rakitovo, Radomir, Kovachevo, Botevgrad, Dupnitsa/. They are educated, beautiful, ambitious and determined to work in their chosen professions. The biggest challenge is to prove to themselves, to believe that they are capable, that they have the know how and that they will succeed in their spheres of life. A Bulgarian, English teacher and mathematics, a social worker, an advocacy expert, a mother, an owner of an urgent care office, a laboratory technician, a health mediator, a student, a future geologist, a make-up artist, a hairdresser, a small business owner - these women are living proof that Roma women are capable of achieving a lot and their achievements can be in different lights in different fields.
