| Title | A Comparative and Relational Analysis of Domestic Violence Manifestation among Roma women in Hungary and Dalit women in India |
| Summary | Roma women in Hungary, as well as in the broader European context, and Dalit women in India face intersecting forms of discrimination and marginalization based on various factors such as race/ethnicity, caste, gender, class, and other identities. Within these communities, violence against women, particularly domestic violence, is a significant issue but is often side-lined due to pre-existing stereotypes and prejudices about the culture and members of these communities. I argue that to comprehensively understand the manifestation of domestic violence and gender-based violence within these marginalized spaces, it is crucial to adopt a historicized and contextualized analysis that goes beyond examining domestic intersectionality alone. By engaging in comparative, intersectional, and relational frameworks, one can unravel the interconnectedness between localized versions of patriarchies in Roma and Dalit communities, the white colonial patriarchy in Europe, and the historical upper-class Brahminical patriarchy in India. Furthermore, this framework would also unravel the complex interactions of local-global processes such as colonialism, racial narratives, caste systems, and capitalism, which have shaped the present-day dynamics of patriarchy in racialized and marginalized spaces inhabited by Roma and Dalit communities, and how these relationalities impact women’s experiences of domestic violence and gender -based discrimination. |
