In this context, Portuguese National Roma Communities Integration Strategy is a result of the involvement of all Ministries, Civil Society organizations, Roma communities and experts, and besides the four main areas proposed by the European Commission – housing, education, health and employment, - Portuguese NRIS added a crosscutting pillar in order to address issues like discrimination, mediation, citizenship, gender equality, Roma history and culture.
