“…Gelbart (2012) analyzes feminism in the Czech Republic and, regarding gender equality, highlights the many similarities between diverse ethnic groups and how the term feminism is not as rejected among Roma as it is among Czechs. Silverman (2012) analyzes the more specific case of the Macedonian Muslim Romani women that live in New York and the results show once more, in line with Sen (1999) and Schultz (2005), that education can transform and lead to the achievement of more equality, social influence and improved leadership skills.…”

In the midst of the global financial crisis and in the 'anti-race era', Europe has witnessed a revival of deeply racialized discourses targeting the Roma, leading to new discriminatory practices and legitimating existing ones in many social domains. While westward Roma immigration has spurred these discourses, it has also favored the emergence of invisible grassroots reactions against them that need to be further analyzed. Drawing on interviews with migrant Romani women, this article aims to shed light on these unknown processes, as experienced by women in Romani women-based solidarity networks. Data show that these networks help the women to access basic social facilities, while also challenging the abovementioned racialized discourses.

“…Spain, being one the countries with the largest Roma population, pioneered the foray into this sociological territory (González 1970;Garrido 1980;Iniesta 1981;Palacios and García 1986). In the twenty-first century we see also studies proliferating in the Americas (Bereményi 2007a, b;PRORROM 2007;Bel 2011;Niquetti 2013;Gewald et al 2013;Walsh et al 2008;Hancock 2013;Silverman 2012 ) although with a lower number of publications than in Europe, where Roma populations are larger. And yet, the phenomenon has not been covered or studied in all its possible dimensions.…”

This chapter makes a literature review based on the Grant and Booth qualitative systematic methodology of the studies about the educational situation of the Roma in Spain, with an wider, extended scope that allows to compare the findings with those conducted on other countries’ Roma populations. Studies on the Roma educational situation in Spain are hindered by the lack of official, periodical statistics, having to rely on sample-based surveys and ethnographic studies. In spite of the inaccuracy of the studies all of them show, as a general picture, a staggering educational gap between the Roma and the rest of society which is common to all Western countries. Most of the studies on Roma education have concentrated in this negative aspect. Numerous theoretical frameworks have been developed to explain this staggering education gap. All them acknowledge the phenomenon as a multidimensional one but for heuristic purposes they can be ordered along an endogenous/exogenous factors continuum depending on how much they stress the weight of factors stemming from characteristics of the Roma ethnic group itself or, on the contrary, of the majority non-Roma society. The literature review has also identified an emergent critical current that sees this studies focused on educational underachievement as a sharing a common essentialist bias that helps to reinforce the stigmatization of Roma and have turned to focus, instead, on the study of academic success among the Roma. Although this emerging field is very promising, our review has identify several significant research gaps in this regard: a lack of longitudinal studies, a lack of studies on the Roma upper and middle classes and a lack of studies on Roma students in post-compulsory education, particularly the university level. This article encourages researchers to fill this gaps with the conviction that the knowledge obtained can help combat the negative stereotypes and the self-fulfilling prophecy effect that approaches focused on Roma underachievement may have.

“…In New York, education gap also happens. Silverman (2012) investigated Muslim minority communities of Romanian Muslim women in New York. The study showed that the participation rate in Romanian women's education is higher than that of men.…”

This study aims to describe women's access to PTKI (Perguruan Tinggi Keagamaan Islam/Islamic Higher Education) and ma'had aly institutions. The method used was a qualitative approach with a gender perspective. Interviews, observations, and documentary studies were applied to collect the data. This research was conducted in PTKI and ma'had aly institution that are located in East Java. The results show that there are gaps in accessing education between male and female students in the national context which can be seen from the net enrollment rate. This gap also occurred in women's educational participation at PTKI and ma'had aly institutions. The disparity of education access can be observed in terms of women’s participation in intracurricular and extracurricular activities at ma’had aly institutions. There is a difference in the level of women's participation in Islamic higher education for Islamic studies compared to ma'had aly.
