Macedonia: Special measures for Romani women and girls

In January 2006 the Committee for the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (the Committee) called on the government to take “temporary special measures”, reflecting the degree of its concern about the situation of Roma women and women from other minority communities in Macedonia.

The organization urges the Committee to repeat their previous recommendations and also suggests further specific measures that the Macedonian government should undertake.
