Migration, Oppression, Empowerment Romani and Sinti Feminists Speak

Isidora Randjelovic and Svetlana Kostic: Migration, Oppression, Empowerment Romani and Sinti Feminists Speak

Introduced by Margo Okazawa-Rey

Isidora Randjelovic and Svetlana Kostic are members of RomaniPhen, a Berlin-based organization that emerged in 2018 from IniRromnja, an association of Romani and Sinti women who no longer accept that rejection, hostility and violence against Romani and Sinti people are concealed, trivialized or justified.  Because of the long history of Romani persecution, enslavement, and genocide during Nazism, it is essential to engage in memory cultural work, transgenerational exchange and collaboration with movements that link the past to the present and oppose border regimes and other forms of global oppression. RomaniPhen’s focus is on feminist work with girls and women, Romani-related events, activist networking, and dissemination of Romani knowledge.
