In November 2019, a representative of the Roma Women 's Association "Bolja buducnost" , Larisa Kovacevic, attended a regional advocacy program and a consultation meetings in Brussels. The week started with relevant training and preparations, and the consultation meetings with EEAS, MEPs, EC/DG NEAR and others, aimed at contributing to women’s rights and gender equality in the EU accession processes.

For many years, Kvinna till Kvina has been implementing a regional advocacy program for the EU, which includes all Western Balkan countries. The aim of this program is to provide women's organizations with greater visibility into the EU integration process, to strengthen women's participation in all relevant processes, and to ensure respect for women's human rights. This is certainly related also for  Roma women's organizations as well, since two years ago this program also included Roma women.

This year's consultation week, through the participation of representatives of  Roma women's organizations from Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Republic of Serbia and Northern Macedonia we had opportunity to  address the problems that  Roma women are  facing  in various areas, and on that occasion, advocated and made recommendations for improving the rights and status of Roma women with a particular focus on the EU Roma policy  post 2020.
