Violenta impotriva femeilor rome

Abstract

The present article introduces to the academic agenda a subject that is still largely invisible, namely violence against Roma women, and creates a necessary climate for dialogue between scholars dealing with this subject. The aim of the paper is to investigate the impact of cultural and gender essentialism on violence against Roma women. The research proposal develops a description of the inequalities in combating violence against Roma women and further discusses the mechanisms that could remedy these inequalities. The proposed study regarding violence against Roma women is a theoretical inquiry that investigates this acute contemporary phenomenon by using a conceptual framework based on radical feminist theories.
