Roma Rights 4/2006: Romani Women�s Rights Movement
The current issue of Roma Rights looks at the responses of Romani women
to some of the human rights violations Romani women face. The Romani
women�s movement has evolved organically through the wider pursuit of
Roma rights by Romani women and men over the years in response to the
initial (and mostly continuing) lack of attention to women�s issues on
the part of the predominantly male �leaders�; some of whom viewed
patriarchal traditions as integral components of Romani identity and
culture. Romani women�s first steps to speak out about their rights as
women and to challenge the idea that certain practices are a part of
Romani culture have often been met with criticism, rejection or have
been simply ignored. The fact is that women�s rights in all contexts
tend to be a cause of controversy, but particularly when in
juxtaposition with other characteristics such as race or ethnicity,
disability, sexual orientation, etc. This issue provides a few examples
of current Romani women�s actions and reflections.
This issue includes the information listed below and is available from
