Romani women

Romani women are members of the Romani community, an indigenous ethnic group with a rich cultural heritage originating from South Asia and primarily living across Europe. They often maintain distinct traditions, language (Romani), and social structures, emphasizing family, community, and oral storytelling. Like any group, Romani women’s experiences vary widely, but they may face social challenges such as discrimination and marginalization. Many actively preserve their cultural identity through music, dance, and rituals, contributing uniquely to the cultural diversity of their regions while navigating contemporary societal issues.
