Thanks to the self-defence course, Roma women can find their inner strength and learn how to prevent conflicts

A beautiful project is being created in Slovakia, that will help Roma women to find their inner strength, to be able to take care of themselves, to develop their community and to find a good job. It’s called UPre Women and the idea came from Veronika Miškech Fričová from Košice, who worked with the Indian organisation AZAD Foundation on the successful and groundbreaking Women with Wheels programme. When she saw how positively the lives, but also the unfavourable position of women in Indian society were changing, she wanted to try something like this here.

It’s okay they can’t draw a spine, but they can draw a butterfly. And that’s inclusion…

When we were visiting Wellington, where Slovak families work and live, we saw how in one top-class art class, British children drew a detailed human spine and Roma children from Sabinov drew a simple butterfly. The school headmaster said that it is completely fine for students of the same age in one class to draw different things because they have different skills.
