Director of Roma Women's Association "Bolja buducnost" as a speaker participated in a regional conference on the results of "Decade of Inclusion of Roma" held on June 20 and 21, 2019 in Belgrade.

The conference covered the following topics: non-discrimination, legal assistance and social inclusion of Roma, the position of Roma women in society and family (results and challenges), education and employment as a means of preventing marginalization of Roma, housing as an important element of Roma inclusion, health and healthy family environment.

Representatives of Roma women's organizations, the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Labor, Employment, Veterans' Affairs and Social Affairs from the Republic of Serbia, the Ministry of Human Rights and Refugees of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as representatives of international organizations attended the panel dedicated to the situation of women, girls from the Roma community.  It is important to note that among panelists was representatives of Roma women's NGOs and women who received the European Commission Prize as a Roma heroine in the process of Roma and Roma women integration, including Indira Bajramovic, Director of the Roma women association “Bolja buducnost” Tuzla. The position of Roma women in the region continues to be characterized by multiple, cross-referenced and repeated discrimination, in all spheres of life. The average life expectancy of Roma women is below 50 years of age and still have a high number of pregnancies. Reports from international organizations show that a total of 9% of Roma women are employed, many girls quickly leave education. Roma women still face traditional roles and social patterns, they have a low level of education, restricted access to health and social protection.

Indira Bajramovic presented examples of good practice in the field of economic empowerment and employment. She estimates that the situation of Roma and Roma women is better than before the declaration of the Decade of Roma Inclusion, especially in terms of building partnerships between institutions and Roma civil society.

An example of good practice from Bosnia and Herzegovina are programs for projects to support the political participation of Roma women, whose results and the selection of Roma women in local community councils.

An important issue on the topic of political participation are the existence of quotas that are not used so that women can be represented in political parties or bodies of government and they (this quotas) are used by men only in order to meet legal requirements. There is a lack of activities to support the elected and appointed women, and support to women's interests by women.
