Better Health for Better Integration
Building capacities to improve health equity for ethnic minorities women
“Better Health for Better Integration” is a project funded by the PROGRESS Programme of DG Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion and coordinated by Fondazione Giacomo Brodolini. It started in December 2010 and it will end in December 2012. It is a project addressing women belonging to ethnic minority groups who often present higher risk of health inequalities with respect to the women in the native population or the minority men, due to: living and working conditions, vulnerable socio-economic status and to the multiple discrimination they face in relation to their gender and ethnicity. Partners involved in the project come from four different countries: Italy, Romania, Sweden and United Kingdom. The action will contribute to improving the capacity of partners and other relevant stakeholders in designing gender mainstreamed strategies to tackle health inequalities. The methodology adopted to pursue this objective is based on a mutual learning concept and on a participatory approach to policy design. On the basis of the analysis of their respective national/regional situations and of the learning process spurred by the exchange of best practices, partners will have the opportunity to discuss across the partnership the actions/strategies that could be developed.
