Intersectionality:  Women  and  Children     Women     A  total  of  106  recommendations  are  labelled  both  under  minorities  and  women’s  rights.   However,  74  of  them  addressed  minorities  and  women  as  two  separate  groups,  usually   as  part  of  a  general  list  of  vulnerable  groups  (for  example  women,  minorities,  migrants,   indigenous  communities,  rural  communities  etc.)  so  cannot  be  taken  into  account  as   recommendations  on  intersectionality.  The  other  32  recommendations  addressed   minority  women  indeed  and  used  expression  such  as:  minority  women;  Roma  women;   Muslim  women;  vulnerable  groups  of  women,  such  as  Roma;  minorities,  particularly   women  etc.  so  these  are  analyzed  below.     Concerns  about  minority  women  in  general  were  addressed  in  15  recommendations.   (Recommendations  referring  to  minority  girls  appear  in  the  next  section  of   intersectionality  examining  minorities  and  children’s  rights.)  They  were  the  following:     !
