Abstract

The aim of this article is to provide an
overview of the educational and health
situation of Roma women in Greece. The
existence of a plethora of sociological,
anthropological and ethnographic texts
and the commonly accepted view regarding
the marginalisation of Roma women is not
adequately supported by “hard” statistical
data. The article intends fi rst to address
this shortcoming and second to provide
an evaluation of the respective initiatives
undertaken by the Greek state. The
concluding part contains some practical
recommendations.
