ABSTRACT

Although the Roma community is the largest ethnic minority in Europe, it continues to experience inequality and exclusion in all social areas. In social work, the literature identifies limitations in providing effective responses to the problems faced by this community. The identification and analysis of practices that have demonstrated a positive impact in overcoming the inequalities of the Roma community become crucial for improving the design and implementation of interventions in social work. This article identifies and analyses three practices related to social work that contribute to the improvement of the Roma community situation and discusses the elements that characterise each practice: the need to implement evidence-based actions, the role of solidarity and respect, and the recognition of the Roma identity. The results show that these three elements contribute to the impact of interventions in improving the lives of Roma people, thus generating useful recommendations to guide the interventions of social work professionals working with this community.

摘要

尽管罗姆人社区是欧洲最大的少数民族，但它在所有社会领域继续遭受不平等和排斥。在社会工作中，文献确定了对该社区面临的问题提供有效回应的局限性。确定和分析在克服罗姆人社区的不平等方面显示出积极影响的做法对于改进社会工作干预措施的设计和实施至关重要。本文确定并分析了有助于改善罗姆人社区状况的三种与社会工作相关的做法，并讨论了每种做法的特征要素：实施循证行动的必要性、团结和尊重的作用以及承认罗姆人的身份。
