Aspecte privind violenţa împotriva femeilor în familiile de romi.

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 in Romania. However, there is little research on violence in the ethnic Roma community, specifically intrafamily violence in Roma families. The present article is based on research data collected between 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.
