Vulnerability to Forced Labour and Trafficking: The case of Romanian women in the agricultural sector in Sicily

2015

This paper focuses on labour and sexual exploitation faced by Romanian female workers employed in the agricultural sector in Ragusa, Sicily, Italy. Drawing on fieldwork conducted in 2013 and 2014 with Romanian female farm workers in Ragusa, the paper identifies factors that contribute towards their vulnerability to exploitation. By paying specific attention to the experiences of women who are mothers with dependent children, we look at structural factors that increase their vulnerability and consider how this vulnerability ‘forces’ women into situations whereby they effectively accept and/or submit to abuse. We also highlight how European Union (EU) citizenship does not automatically protec…

«Roumain italiens»: pastoralisme et dynamiques migratoires dans le troisième millénaire

2011

This paper considers the phenomenon of migration, by proposing a case study upon the migration of Romanians in Italy. As a consequence of the access of Romania in the UE in January 2007, Romanians became citizens of UE, but, nevertheless, they are not aware of their rights and juridical statute and continue to live in a state of subordination and humility in their interaction with their employers. They do not rebel, since they are afraid of losing their working place. This is a step backwards as to the process of integration, which, as Buttitta noticed, should not lead to a "standardization of the immigrants to the culture of the host country, but to an acceptance of immigrants, as part of …

Le recenti strategie insediative della comunità rumena in Sicilia

2012

In recent years, in Italy the composition of migration stream has undergone significant changes. Some reasons refer to the short-time (eg,the Arab Spring), but other events, such as the entry into the European Union of some countries, may have durable social, economic and cultural effects. This is the case of the Romanian migration to Italy. In Sicily this flow has a greater importance than in other regions and deserves special attention from both researchers and policy makers. In this paper we analyze some settlement aspects of migration of Romanians and the related process of integration.

Vaccine efficacy (VE) against varicella (confirme…

Romania and the Big Challenge of Implementing the Europe 2020 Strategy

2017

Abstract The evolution and evolvement of the Europe 2020 strategy in each country are subjects, which should interest all European citizens. The investigation on this subject stems from two issues: firstly, the importance of knowing the direction in which Europe is going in the future, and, secondly the wish to assess whether this is the right direction. Unfortunately, due to several possible obstacles, such as level of development, not all countries have the ability to achieve performance in all fields. Romania, just like many other countries, is one example. Being one of the least developed countries, reaching success in implementing the Europe 2020 strategy is, for Romania, a difficult m…
