COALITION BUILDING INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE ROMANIAN WOMEN‟S RIGHTS SCENE
COALITION BUILDING INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE ROMANIAN WOMEN‟S RIGHTS SCENE

Summary/Abstract: In the present paper I aim at investigating the factors that favor or impede coalition work betweenwomen‘s rights organizations and groups in Romania. By looking at the most enduring and salient coalitions within and across the field, The Coalition against Domestic Violence and the Antidiscrimination Coalition, I find that funding specifically directed to coalition work, and external threats in the form of unfavorable policy changes or of growing countermovement activity are the most conducive to collaboration. However, repeated punctual cooperation between women‘s rights groups and their allies helps build in the long run a sense of community and of being part of the same struggle.
