Aspecte privind violența împotriva femeilor în familiile de romi
Aspects of Violence Against Women in Roma Families

Summary/Abstract: The article addressed the topic of violence against women in Romania. Violence against women is a matter of intense debate over the last two decades, including Romania. However, there is little research on violence in the ethnic Roma community, specifically intra-family violence in Roma families. The present article is based on research data collected in 2014-2015 and shows an increased level of violence in these families, as well as a high awareness of need for specialized services and legal instruments to address the problems of domestic violence. The study is a brief radiography on the phenomenon, and although the research data is generous, we cannot consider the study to be representative of the entire Roma population in Romania.
