Project FORTUNA (Fostering inclusivity by combating intersectional discrimination against Roma individuals in healthcare in Slovenia and Serbia) focuses on identifying and eliminating inequalities in healthcare, with a particular emphasis on Roma communities in Slovenia and Serbia. The project addresses the specific challenges faced by Roma men and women in accessing healthcare services, primarily due to deeply rooted (gender) stereotypes within and outside their communities and experiences of intersectional discrimination by healthcare professionals.
The goal of the project is to improve healthcare access for these communities and to develop culturally sensitive, inclusive, and accessible healthcare practices in both participating countries. FORTUNA achieves its goals by raising awareness among healthcare workers about the impact of gender stereotypes and discrimination and by equipping them with tools to promote cultural sensitivity and combat discrimination based on gender and ethnicity.
As part of the project, specialized training is being developed for healthcare professionals, focusing on identifying and overcoming intersectional discrimination in healthcare settings. Additionally, the project actively involves Roma youth, who will be empowered with knowledge and tools to make informed decisions about their physical, mental, and reproductive health—regardless of prevailing gender norms and stigma.
By developing a unified FORTUNA educational module for Roma communities, the project will raise awareness about the importance of health, self-examination, participation in preventive programs, and help in exercising health rights. The project will also promote collaboration with various stakeholders, such as Roma community representatives, healthcare professionals, and policymakers, with the aim of shaping a comprehensive approach to improving the health of Roma communities and disseminating good practices in this field in both participating countries.
