MAMYS

MAMYS

MAMYS project wants to help Roma girls by empowering them so they can envision their own futures and choose marriages and motherhood only if and when they are ready, by helping them realize the importance of continuing their studies for as long as possible. We talk to mothers and girls on a daily basis and see that turns in school abandon and later on in physical and mental health problems due to their young marriage. Overwhelming evidence shows that the conditions of poverty, early school abandonment and the social exclusionary processes they suffer, have a very important explanatory weight in their sexual and reproductive decisions in their later on forced adult life. We aim to improve the lives of girls by decreasing the risks of suffering physical and mental health problems, making them less vulnerable to intimate partner violence, and helping them remain in the educational system and successfully insert themselves into the labor market, later on.
