Roma women in Montenegro stand at the crossroads of tradition and social transformation, reflecting both the resilience and structural challenges faced by their communities. This paper examines the evolving role of Roma women in contemporary Montenegrin society, with particular attention to the persistence of early and underage marriage and its impact on girls’ education, autonomy, and social participation. Using a sociological analytical approach based on existing literature, policy documents, and reports from organisations such as UNICEF, UNDP, and the European Roma Rights Centre, the study explores how cultural norms, poverty, and gender inequality interact to shape the life opportunities of Roma girls. At the same time, the paper highlights the growing role of Roma women’s activism and community initiatives in challenging restrictive norms and promoting education and empowerment. The findings suggest that Roma women are not only affected by social exclusion but are increasingly emerging as important agents of social change and integration within Montenegrin society.
