Dojemanje partnerskih odnosov in ljubezni pri mladih Rominjah v Prekmurju

Podgoršek, Laura (avtor), Poštrak, Milko (mentor)

V diplomskem delu raziskujem, kako mlade Rominje iz Prekmurja dojemajo partnerske odnose in ljubezen. Ker pa smo ljudje vse življenje v interakciji z drugimi ljudmi in ker nas vsaka izkušnja s sočlovekom zaznamuje ter oblikuje naše razmišljanje, me zanimajo tudi njihovo družinsko življenje, življenje v romski skupnosti in pogled na partnerske odnose skozi spolno vlogo. Tako sem v teoretičnem delu najprej namenila poglavje romski skupnosti z namenom predstaviti, kakšno je življenje v njej, in poudariti, da Romi niso homogena skupina. Predstavim osnovne kulturne vrednote in tradicije. Ko govorimo o etničnih manjšinah, pa se ne moremo izogniti diskriminaciji, etnizaciji, patologizaciji in stereotipom, zato je eno poglavje namenjeno tudi tej temi, kako torej večinsko prebivalstvo postavlja ločnico med nami in njimi ter zakaj se to sploh dogaja. V družini ima oseba prvi stik z ljudmi in v njej se dogaja socializacija. Predstavila bom definicijo družine, vključila, kakšen pomen ima družina za Rominje med odraščanjem, kakšen pomen ima za oblikovanje prepričanja o spolnih vlogah in kako vpliva na dojemanje partnerskih odnosov. Raziskava se osredotoča na ženski spol, zato spregovorim o tem, kako so romske ženske predstavljene v literaturi. Nadalje analiziram pojem partnerstva in ljubezni, s poudarkom na pomenu teh odnosov v mladosti. Izvedena raziskava je kvalitativna in empirična. Vzorec je neslučajnostni in priročen ter vključuje 7 sogovork, ki so ali pa so bile del katere od romskih skupnosti v Prekmurju in so stare med 21 in 29 let. Podatke sem pridobila s pomočjo delno standardiziranega intervjuja, med pogovorom sem sledila vnaprej pripravljenim smernicam za intervju. Na koncu sem podatke obdelala kvalitativno. Rezultati, pridobljeni v raziskavi, kažejo, da se mlade Rominje iz Prekmurja osvobajajo tradicionalnih prepričanj in vrednot, ki naj bi bile glede na literaturo prisotne v partnerskih odnosih. Ženske so vedno bolj svobodne pri izbiri partnerja, torej o tem ne odloča njihova družina niti romska skupnost. Rezultati kažejo, da si želijo enakovrednega partnerstva, v katerem se bodo počutile spoštovane in cenjene.

• Naslov: Perceptions of Romantic Relationships and Love Among Young Roma Women in Prekmurje

Izvleček

In my diploma thesis, I researched how young Roma women from Prekmurje perceive romantic relationships and love. Since we interact with others throughout our lives, and each interaction shapes our thinking, I am interested in their family life, life within the Roma community, and their views on romantic relationships through the lens of gender roles. In the theoretical part, I first dedicate a chapter to the Roma community to present what life is like within it, emphasizing that the Roma are not a homogeneous group. I introduce some of the cultural values and traditions. When discussing ethnic minorities, one cannot avoid the topics of discrimination, ethnicization, pathologization, and stereotypes. Therefore, one chapter addresses how the majority population creates a boundary between “us” and “them” and why this occurs. The family represents a person’s first contact with others and is the setting for socialization. I present the definition of family and discuss the importance of family for Roma women during their upbringing, its role in shaping beliefs about gender roles, and how it influences their perceptions of romantic relationships. The research focuses on women, so I also discuss how Roma women are represented in literature. Furthermore, I analyse the concept of partnership and love, emphasizing the significance of these relationships during youth. I also address ethnically sensitive social work, which should take into account the personal perceptions of romantic relationships among Roma women. The study is qualitative and empirical. The sample is non random and convenient, consisting of seven participants who are or have been part of a Roma community in Prekmurje and are aged between 21 and 29. I collected data using semi-structured interviews, following pre-prepared interview guidelines during the conversations. I then analysed the data qualitatively. The results of the study show that young Roma women from Prekmurje are breaking away from traditional beliefs and values that, according to the literature, are assumed to be present in romantic relationships. Women are increasingly free to choose their partners—these decisions are no longer made by their families or the Roma community. The findings indicate that they desire equal partnerships in which they feel respected and valued.
