Povodom Svjetskog dana žena, Centar za romske inicijative i Institut za javno zdravlje, uz finansijsku podršku CARE International – Bosna i Hercegovina i Ministarstva za ljudska i manjinska prava, 07.03.2016. godine organizovao je uličnu akciju unutar tri romska naselja: Naselje pod Trebjesom, naselje Budo Tomović i naselje Brlja u Nikšiću, na kojem je predstavnica iz Instituta za javno zdravlje držala predavanja sa ciljem ukazivanja na važnost reproduktivnog zdravlja i sprečavanja polno prenosivih bolesti i neželjenih trudnoća.

Po završetku predavanja predstavnici/ce Centra za romske inicijative i predstavnici/ce Instituta za javno zdravlje su pripadnicima/ama romske i egipćanske populacije podijelili ruže zajedno sa perzervativima.

U toku akcije smo mogli zaključiti da još uvijek vlada patrijarhat u romskim i egipćanskim zajednicama i da je za pripadnice ove dvije populacije i dalje tabu tema razgovor o korišćenju perzervativa, sto su mogli potvrditi komentari:  „Članice Centra za romske inicijative dobro poznaju naše potrebe, kako ih nije sramota da pričaju o ovome?”, „Mogli ste dijeliti ruže bez perzervativa”, „Nosite te perzervative, vama će trebati!”, „Ja se ne prodajem za ružu i kondom!”.

Pored navedenih komentara, veći broj romske i egipćanske ženske populacije u Naselju pod Trebjesom nije izašao da isprati akciju, što potvrđuje činjenicu, da i pored toga što im je unaprijed bilo najavljeno o kakvoj se akciji radi, oni nijesu bili spremni da isprate istu.

Ne ke od pozitivnih komentara, koji su uglavnom dolazili od muških članova dvije pomenute zajednice, a  koje bi izdvojili su sledeći: „Ove je veoma dobro predavanje, zato pojedini imaju i po trinaestoro djece, jer ne znaju kako da se zaštite”, „O ovome treba javno da se govori, to nije sramota”, „Treba organizovati još ovakvih akcija”.

On the occasion of the World Women’s Day, the Center for Roma Initiatives and Institute of Public Health, with financial support from CARE International – Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Ministry for Human and Minority Rights, on 07^th of March of  2016 organized a street action within three Roma settlements: Settlement under Trebjesa, settlement Budo Tomovic and settlement Brlja in Niksic, during which a representative of the Institute of Public Health held lectures with the aim of emphasizing the importance of reproductive health and the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases as well as unwanted pregnancies.

After the lectures were done, representatives from the Center for Roma initiatives and Institute of Public Health shared roses along with preservatives to members of Roma and Egyptian population.

During the street action, we could conclude that there is still patriarchy present in Roma and Egyptian communities and that for female members of these two populations using of preservatives is still a taboo topic, which can be confirmed with the following comments: “The members of the Center for Roma Initiatives are familiar with our needs, how that comes that they are not ashamed to talk about this? “, “you could share roses without preservatives “, “Take these preservatives, you will need them! “, ” I do not sell myself for a rose and a condom! “.

In addition to these comments, a number of Roma and Egyptian women in the settlement under Trebjesa did not come out to take part in street action, as evidenced by the fact that even though they in advance had been informed what kind of action was to be held, they were not willing to take part in the same.

Some of the positive comments, which mainly came from male members of the mentioned communities and which we would stress are the following: “This is a very good lecture, some people have more than thirteen children because they do not know how to protect themselves”, “On this theme we must speak in public, it is not a shame”, “You should organize more actions like this one. “
