The knowledge of the reproductive system is of great importance in every woman's life, especially because of the increased cases of uterine and ovarian cancer. It is considered to be the second most common reproductive system cancer in women, right after breast cancer, not only in Croatia but the world. It most commonly manifests in middle-aged women who are working and taking care of their family. When it comes to Roma women and their culture, learning about their reproductive system is considered tabboo and inapropriate to openly discuss. Bearing in mind their low level of education, poverty and unemployment issues, there is a lack of motivation concerning regular doctor appointments, as well as prevention and protection from the diseases in question. The low status of Roma women is not only influenced by discriminaton, but also the lack of emancipation because of cultural differences and their isolated way of life. The main goal of this research was to find out how much do Roma women actually know about the health of the reproductive system, the risks of malignant diseases and the importance of preventing sexually transmitted diseases. Sixty-three women of Roma nationality over the age of 30 living in the city of Rijeka were randomly chosen for completing the surveys. The research was conducted as an average questioning in a form of an anonymous survey-type questionnaire with the separate consent form. Descriptive statistics of processed data confirmed the hypotheses that in Roma women, the knowledge of health, risks and prevention of diseases realated to the female reproductive system, the importance of annual gynecological check ups, and the importance and the knowledge of contraception and prevention of sexually transmited diseases is substandard. In most cases, younger, educated or employed participants had more knowlegde and than the ones who are unemployed with little or no education. This reasearch displays that in more than 50% of the participants the answers to the majority of the important questions about the reproductive system were 'I don't know'. However, the desire to increase the knowledge on the subject was prevalent, giving hope for further improvements in those areas. Given the results of this reasearch, it is beyond necessary to work on providing education, as well as on raising awareness and suppressing the stigma surrounding the subjects in question, especially in young women. Helping young Roma women gain confidence and self respect is of great importance, especially after reviewing this reaserch. It is our obligation to decrease the stigmatisation and judgement of the Roma people and it is crucial to work on the integration and socialization of the Roma people around us to strengthen the foundations for our collective future.
