One of the main objectives of the Strategy is therefore to encourage grass-root community activity of Roma women with the help of projects like the "2000 Roma women programme". Using acquired knowledge and capabilities, Roma women will become able to participate more actively in the life of society at local, regional or national levels — beyond ethnic limits. Allow me to mention three examples of how the Strategy plans to achieve this target taking into account the specific characteristics of Roma women. Further details will be available when the Strategy will be translated to English after its adoption in the coming days. First the Training of 2000 Roma Women project aims at training women for different professions in the social and healthcare sector with the goal of employing these women in such areas while taking into account their specific cultural background. The mentoring of participants will be conducted by 50 highly-educated Roma women. The long term benefit of the programme is that it will provide Roma women with competencies that allow them to elevate their status within their family and communities. This programme is a priority project set up within the framework agreement between the Government and the National Roma Self-government (which consists of 6000 representatives elected by the approximately 700.000 strong Hungarian Roma community) and shows the recognition by both the Roma community and the Government of the importance of the involvement of Roma women and the need to create more of such opportunities within the inclusion policy. Second, the Government has organized a workshop focusing on the problems of Roma women with a team of specialists from the fields of science, politics and public life. The task of the team is to establish standards for the development of parental competences which can be the basis of all projects aimed at this target group in the future. The team's recommendations related to Roma women are incorporated in the Strategy.
