An initial session will be organized to invite selected Roma girls’ parents as well as other significant adults (e.g., teachers, Roma women who participated in WP2.3, etc, key Roma women in the community.). In this session, Field Work Group and facilitators will explain the project, Roma girls’ parents will be asked for their permission to participate, and all participants will be required to support project activities. In this sense, monthly meetings will be conducted with significant adults in each context throughout the project in order to build collaboration, assure implementation, and reflect on the process.

Photovoice provides individuals with a camera to capture their voices and visions of their communities’ strengths and resources. This activity implies:

a) Developing Roma girls’ capacity to articulate their own narratives and identify goals for the future. Roma girls will be trained by facilitators supervised by Field Work Group in technical and ethical issues when conducting Photovoice, working in groups and developing capacity to articulate their own narratives. This training will be in 2 hour on-site sessions for 2 weeks. All girls will be provided with a camera. During 3 weeks in 2-hour weekly sessions, Roma girls will gather in onsite activities and field visits to meet and interact with different key Roma women. Along these sessions and experiences, Roma girls will reflect and dialogue on their values on becoming women, on their vision of future selves and developing short-term and long-term goals to achieve this. For that Roma girls will take pictures to identify and express such thinking. Facilitators will assist Roma girls during this task and will provide them with framing questions to successfully develop the activity. In following 2-hour weekly sessions along 3 weeks, each Roma girl will present their pictures together with their reflections in small groups led by facilitators. Following, these pictures and reflections will be shared among all Roma girls who will provide feedback. Facilitators will encourage girls to identify the contextual and cultural risk factors that might challenge their reproductive justice and life goals (e.g., teenage motherhood). Finally, local Photovoice exhibits will be collaboratively organized by Field Work Group, Local Coalitions and facilitators in each context to share and debate on Roma girls’ reflections with the rest of their communities during one week.

b) Building knowledge on Roma girls’ reproductive justice. Roma girls will be trained in a 2-hour weekly on-site session by facilitators—supervised by Field Work Group—in thematic analysis using and adapting games already available in the literature to this end. In one weekly 2-hour session during 3 weeks, girls will identify in small groups key messages on mattering and reproductive justice—from the previous activity—and cluster them. In three following sessions, all participants will share and match these clustered messages and categorize them under labels.

Method to be followed is the same as in activity 3.3.c. but focusing on recommendations and actions that different stakeholders in the community (i.e., Roma girls, policymakers, parents, professors, other service providers, significant adults, etc.) should and could do to empower Roma girls’ mattering linked to reproductive justice.

Advocacy activities will help Roma girls to develop an active role in strengthening their mattering linked to reproductive justice in front of community key stakeholders. The latter will develop awareness on the issues and facilitate resources to this end. First, a joint meeting between Roma girls, facilitators and Local Coalitions will be organized by Field Work Group in each context to share and discuss challenges and recommendations from activities 3.3. and 3.4. As result, local guides to empower Roma girls’ mattering linked to reproductive justice will be developed in each context—a final document will gather all local guides. Roma girls together with facilitators will develop networking activities such as meetings, media participation, performances, peer-mentoring, etc. with key stakeholder and other Roma girls from their communities. Final RGPAR exhibitions will be organized around different community settings in each context (e.g., civic centre, schools, street, city council, etc.) to share Roma girls’ concerns and recommendations on how to empower their mattering linked to reproductive justice. Finally, 2-3 Roma girls from each context will be invited to the Final Conference to share their experiences, present results, and networking. They will travel under the permission of their parents and will be accompanied and supervised by one of their facilitators.
