Today's Video Focus Story: What’s the Romani word for “feminism”? The answer is “Giuvlepin” – a Romanian theatre company showcasing “some of the most widespread stereotypes about Roma women across the world”. Formed by a group of Roma actresses in 2014, the troupe’s performance explores and busts stereotypes about Roma women and culture, challenging perceptions held both within and outside the community. The theatre company’s founders invented the term “Giuvlepin” because there was no previous Romani word for feminism.
