Nicoleta Bitu - A Romani feminist path at intersections of Romani and feminists movements - RGPP Seminar 15 May 2015
Description of the discussion:
Nicoleta Bitu: "Along my personal history as Romani daughter, woman, wife, mother and human rights activist for Roma and Romani women, I illustrate how the intersectional identities and ideologies may enter in conflict, competition or solidarity. The quest for finding the right feminist theory that I can embrace and apply in work with and for Romani women belonging to different groups and social classes, remains even today one of my one."
