This diploma thesis focuses on the problematic of the specifics of social work with Roma youth. The first chapter contains theoretical basis, which divides into two parts. The first part deals with the Roma minority, its customs, history, culture and then also Roma youth and their social problems. The second section of the theoretical part is devoted to social work. These findings were processed from the professional literature. For the research part of the thesis, a qualitative strategy was chosen, as well as the questioning method and the technique of semi-structured interview. The research was conducted in the South Bohemian region, there were contacted social workers who work in a low-threshold institutions for youth or in a community centre and meet Roma youth. Overall ten workers agreed with cooperation. The aim of the thesis was to find out which specifics of social works do the social workers notice when working with Roma youth. Regarding this aim, research questions were set, focusing on which specifics do the social workers see in the social work with Roma youth, if there occur differences according to whether the work is carried out by a woman or a man, and also what are the techniques and methods used by the workers. From the research emerged, that the workers see the specificity in individual approach to every client, establishing and then maintaining of a confidential relationship, or in setting the rules. Most of the workers agreed, that both men and women are very important in this job, because every one of them is a different role model. However, they see some differences in better obedience and easier gain of authority, in case the social worker is a man. They also listed group work, community work, terrain work, various tasks and client-oriented approach.

Motherhood of Women with Heavy Visual Disability
Viktorová, Šárka ; Mužáková, Monika (advisor) ; Květoňová, Lea (referee)
In my work, I deal with motherhood from the perspective of mothers with severe visual impairment. I focused especially on parenthood planning, on the period of pregnancy, childbirth and stay in the maternity ward and on the care for the child from birth to the age of three. I was interested to find out, whether visually impaired mothers encounter prejudices on part of the well-sighted people, whether they were worried that they could give birth to a handicapped child, what are the difficulties that severely visually impaired mothers come across most often in the individual period of development of the child, if and how education of children is different from the perspective of visually impaired parents from the perspective of well-sighted parents and also whether the child growing up in a family with at least one visually impaired parent is deprived of something or whether, on the contrary, this family situation has any advantages for such child. The objective of my diploma thesis is to map out various aspects of life of visually impaired mothers with small children in the greatest detail, directly from the point of view of those women. I attempted to achieve this objective by means of a qualitative method research, in particular in the form of a structured interview with six visually impaired mothers.
