Politica, promisiunile şi pericolele abordărilor în materie de violenţă împotriva femeilor în România anilor 2000
The politics, promises and perils of addressing violence against women in Romania in the 2000s

Summary/Abstract: The matter of combating violence against women was included on the political and public agenda in Romania in the early 2000s. A law addressing domestic violence was passed in the Romanian Parliament in 2003, but the legislative and policy making actions concerning this matter was mainly part of a paradigm of simulated change in the following years, as Romania became a member state of the European Union. Moreover, public and political discourses on this topic have been filled with references to European identity (and, by default, non European identity), rendering the fact that addressing violence against women was included on the publics and political agenda as a signifier of European membership.
