The traumatic events that Sinti and Roma have been confronted with in the past few decades have led to a special emphasis on self-empowerment. They still have to deal with stereotypes on a daily basis, and only a few manage – against all odds – to build a balanced life for themselves. This led to a shift in focus – away from seeking validation in society and towards self-empowerment and healing. This new basis of the Roma movement aims to regain authority over its own representation and knowledge production.
