Abstract (may include machine translation)

This article investigates the practice of coercive sterilization that primarily affected Romani women in post-war Europe, a topic that has been little researched and theorized in the scholarship on the reproductive rights of racialized ethnic minorities It focuses on the treatment of this issue by the international feminist movement as well as activist Romani of both sexes. Drawing on feminist scholarship, I argue that the intersection of various inequalities constructed Romani women as “intimate others”, who became the legitimized target of discrimination and violence, representing a form of intersectional oppression.
