The aim of this article is to provide an overview of the educational and health situation of Roma women in Greece. The existence of a plethora of sociological, anthropological and ethnographic texts and the commonly accepted view regarding the marginalisation of Roma women is not adequately supported by “hard” statistical data. The article intends fi rst to address this shortcoming and second to provide an evaluation of the respective initiatives undertaken by the Greek state. The concluding part contains some practical recommendations.
