Rural women face double discrimination. The first is directed against the rural areas, which are marginalized by public policies, are invisible in relevant debates, ridiculed and blamed at for its social and economic problems, poverty, lack of education, migration and many other consequences of historical and systemic discrimination. The second is the discrimination against women and girls, which places Romania on top of charts of domestic violence, teenage motherhood and lack of representation of women in decision-making structures – all of which have amplified effects in the case of rural women.
