The digital experiences of Roma girls are shaped through the Digital Determinants of Health (DDoH) such as poor housing conditions with limited digital infrastructure, under-resourced public schools in marginalized neighborhoods, and dominant narratives that overlook their capacities and contributions. Although the European digital transformation advances rapidly, it often fails to address the enduring impacts of structural antigypsyism across DDoH. This article addresses the following questions: (1) how do European digital transformation efforts respond to the impacts of historical antigypsyism on Roma girls' digital experiences? (2) What dynamics across societal, community, interpersonal, and individual levels shape the violation and protection of Roma girls' digital rights in marginalized neighborhoods? and (3) How can European digital transformation policies be operationalized to support a shift from impoverished to meaningful digital participation for Roma girls across all levels of the digital ecosystem? To answer these, the study employs a triangulation approach integrating policy analysis of relevant European strategies on digitalization and Roma inclusion, field observations from ongoing participatory research, and a targeted literature review providing theoretical and comparative grounding. The triangulation of these sources supports the development of an analytical framework for Roma Girls' Digital Rights that allows to map digital experiences through an ecological lens. By bridging policies with local realities, this paper provides actionable recommendations to operationalize macro-level policies with the everyday realities of Roma girls, ensuring that they can experience digitalization as a pathway to empowerment and as active contributors to Europe's digital future.
罗姆女孩的数字体验受到健康数字决定因素（DDoH）的影响，比如住房条件差且数字基础设施有限、边缘化社区资源匮乏的公立学校，以及忽视她们能力和贡献的主流叙事。尽管欧洲的数字转型进展迅速，但它往往未能解决贯穿健康数字决定因素的结构性反吉普赛主义的持久影响。本文探讨以下问题：（1）欧洲的数字转型努力如何应对历史上的反吉普赛主义对罗姆女孩数字体验的影响？（2）社会、社区、人际和个人层面的哪些动态因素塑造了边缘化社区中罗姆女孩数字权利的侵犯与保护？以及（3）如何实施欧洲的数字转型政策，以支持罗姆女孩在数字生态系统的各个层面从贫困的数字参与转向有意义的数字参与？为了回答这些问题，该研究采用了一种三角测量法，整合了对欧洲数字化和罗姆人融入相关战略的政策分析、正在进行的参与式研究的实地观察，以及提供理论和比较基础的有针对性的文献综述。这些来源的三角测量法支持了一个罗姆女孩数字权利分析框架的发展，该框架允许通过生态视角描绘数字体验。通过将政策与当地实际情况相结合，本文提供了可操作的建议，以将宏观层面的政策与罗姆女孩的日常现实相结合，确保她们能够将数字化体验为一条赋权之路，并成为欧洲数字未来的积极贡献者。
