“…We also found that in the case of healthcare frontliners, this often resulted in gradually becoming cynical regarding Roma patients. Our findings match scarce previous related studies showing similar difficulties and outcomes among both kinds of frontliners addressing segregated Roma in Romania (Schneeweis 2013;Wamsiedel 2018). Our findings are also in line with research on factors contributing to and consequences of healthcare staff burnout in general (Glasberg et al 2007;Hall et al 2016;Rose et al 2017).…”

“…However, they remained unable to improve the situation significantly. Our results resemble 174 Discussion Andrej Belak Chapter 8 findings from other studies examining similar themes, that identified extensive and partially effective anti-discriminatory improvisation among healthcare frontliners and health mediators in Romania (Schneeweis 2013;Wamsiedel 2018). However, our findings are also in accord with epidemiological evidence from elsewhere (Krieger 2011;WHO 2010a;WHO 2010b) showing that the root determinants of steep social inequalities lie beyond the access to and quality of services for people who are already sick.…”

“…According to contemporary public health theory (Berkman et al 2014;Krieger 2011; WHO 2010a), many other social determinants of health (SDH) need to be accounted for beyond healthcare access to alleviate existing health inequalities ( Figure 6.1). Reviews (JSI 2006; OSF 2011; WHO 2013b) and scarce scientific research (Schneeweis 2013) show that most CEE HMPs also increasingly address SDH other than healthcare access (e.g. knowledge gaps, discrimination, socioeconomic issues).…”

Segregated Roma are also being oppressed through their self-exclusionary hopes and tastes. Chapter 3 of this thesis 2. Pushed and pulled towards the so-called margins, most segregated Roma become skilled at escaping the relative disadvantages of life standard in the so-called centers. Chapter 4 of this thesis 3. Many people who happen to serve segregated Roma feel that such position gradually forces them to choose between useless burnout and cynical neglect. Chapter 5 of this thesis 4. Trusting segregated Roma with more decision power and resources causes many of them to challenge the local structures that oppress them. Chapter 6 of this thesis 5. It would require a rather explicit selection process to make any risky genes concentrate in any Roma group-much more selective than Roma history could lead to. Chapter 7 of this thesis 6. Antigypsyism drives the poor health status of the Roma, mostly because most people involved, including segregated Roma, do not understand that it is so. Discussion of this thesis 7. We cannot claim to have formulated a convincing denial of the inequality of the human races, so long as we fail to consider the problem of the inequality-or diversity-of human cultures, which is in fact-however unjustifiably-closely associated with it in the public mind. Claude Levi-Strauss 8. We're all going to die, all of us, what a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it doesn't. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities, we are eaten up by nothing. Charles Bukowski 9. We live in a world where we have to hide to make love, while violence is practiced in broad daylight. John Lennon 10. We are lost, but other animals point to the right road. They are the right road.

“…The conflict is usually represented by men who defend the rights of the Roma community with little attention to gender inequalities. This rupture situates Roma women and their organizations outside of their own community [18,21]. For some authors, the disconnect between the defense of Roma community interests and the defense of Roma women is generated by a social context in which gender and ethnicity are erroneously assumed to be mutually exclusive rather than interrelated [36,37].…”

“…Currently, there are only a few studies about how Romani women activists negotiate different, and sometimes contradictory, ethnic and gender identities, from a position that involves struggling against, comprehending, acknowledging and even sharing the social norms dominant in their contexts [18–21]. Describing these struggles is important for developing VAW responses to Romani victims as well as for enhancing the effectiveness of other sectors’ interventions related to VAW.…”

Background: Violence against women (VAW) is a central issue in gender studies and one that has united feminist activists from around the world. But this does not mean that this struggle is singular: indeed, one can say that there are many, diverse and sometimes even contradictory struggles occurring throughout the world. Objectives: To identify and analyze the different struggles faced by women from Roma organizations in Spain in relation to VAW and their work with affected women. Methods: Twelve semi-structured interviews were conducted among women actively involved in Roma associations in different Spanish cities, in 2015. An inductive thematic analysis was used to analyze the empirical materials. Results: Our analysis resulted in three themes that captured different struggles that women from Roma organizations have faced: ‘between persistence and rupture of restrictive gender norms’, ‘invisibility and normalization of violence against women’ and ‘willingness and trust in daily work with women’. The activities related to VAW carried out by the interviewed women were more related to their personal initiatives and abilities than to strategies proposed by the organizations they work for. Conclusions: The results show the need to support the initiatives of Romani women and their own struggles related to identity. This is what makes them true promoters of social change and, more specifically, change related to gender relations both within and outside of their communities.
