Background: This article analyses the significance of the interconnecting of social and mission work in Roma communities. It argues that social and mission work must be in constant dialogue when eliminating social problems, including, for example, the early pregnancies of Roma girls. The article is based on a theoretical analysis of the reasons for the early pregnancies of Roma girls under 18. Furthermore, it empirically surveys the active sexual life and the behaviour in pregnancy of Roma girls as well as their attitudes toward motherhood and parenthood. Methods: With respect to the specific topic of the article, a qualitative analysis of open-coded primary data is especially employed, based on the testimonies of 21 Roma girls. Results: The results of the research have shown a direct relationship between the way of life, sexual literacy, and early pregnancies of Roma girls. Conclusion: Based on the concept under research here, the article, in its conclusion, proposes concrete implications that can also be applied to social work, especially at the level of the education of Roma girls on a safe sexual life.
