TY - CHAP AB - Abstract Since the reforms started in the Romanian child protection, and in spite of adopting children’s rights, and investing in the professionalization of the child protection staff, research has indicated that children continue to suffer violence in care settings.This chapter contributes to the literature that documents children’s rights violations in Romanian residential care, before and after the political shift in 1989, including the period after the accession to the EU, by presenting and discussing interview data of 48 adults who spent parts of their childhoods in child protection settings.The conceptual framework of this analysis is based on the human rights perspective and the transitional justice. The main body of the article presents the testimonials of adults who grew up in institutional care in Romania, as collected in the framework of the SASCA project, funded by the European Union.1 VL - 24 SN - 978-1-78973-047-0, 978-1-78973-048-7/1537-4661 DO - 10.1108/S1537-466120190000024006 UR - https://doi.org/10.1108/S1537-466120190000024006 AU - Roth Maria AU - Antal Imola AU - Dávid-Kacsó Ágnes AU - László Éva PY - 2019 Y1 - 2019/01/01 TI - Forms, Impact and Consequences of Violence against Children in Romanian Child Protection Settings T2 - Human Rights for Children and Youth T3 - Sociological Studies of Children and Youth PB - Emerald Publishing Limited SP - 99 EP - 131 Y2 - 2024/04/23 ER -
