Summary/Abstract: The paper focuses on the exclusion of Roma women from the economic development market in Romania which is explained through the interaction of the intersectional discrimination with other constraints which jointly deepens the situation. Thus, the analysis is centered on the main identities of Roma women, gender and race, throughout several levels from individual to state level and presents the changing position among these core identities in different contexts. The paper completes this analysis with several recommendations to tackle the identified constraints in Roma women road to economic empowerment.
