Roma mother centres in Bulgaria
This is a study of so-called mother centres (MCs) in Bulgaria, where one of Spolu`s most active members operates: Integro from Bulgaria. The establishment of mother centres began here in 2006.
Mother centres do not only exist in Bulgaria. In other countries where Spolu is active, in Albania, Slovakia and Bosnia-Herzegovina for instance, mother centres also exist. In recent years, Spolu organised a number of international exchanges, in order to inform Roma women from other countries about the concept of mother centres.
Mother centres can be characterised as open spaces for young women, where they can discuss about common problems, usually in the areas of relationships, family, child care, raising up children, etc. The centres are controlled by the mothers themselves.
