Snapshot on the Situation of Roma in Europe: Healthcare, Inclusion of People with Disabilities, Long-Term Care
Our Snapshots on the Situation of Roma in Europe are a series of reader-friendly, visually attractive handouts, linking each of the 20 policy principles of the European Pillar of Social Rights to Roma rights and inclusion. Each Snapshot includes key statistics, a brief problem statement, and extensive policy recommendations.
Systemic health inequalities and entrenched unmet care needs are a daily reality for most of Europe’s Roma, entrenching disparities that range from life expectancy to prevalence of disabilities, across the medical spectrum, from mental health to sexual and reproductive health and rights. These are driven by social determinants such as poverty, antigypsyism, exclusion from services and insurance, and under-utilisation of Roma health mediators.
