Is Greece ready to challenge discrimination?
The Greek Forum of Migrants organized the workshop `Is Greece ready to challenge discrimination?` on Wednesday, May 24th. The issues that were discussed concerned the rights of the migrant woman, the discrimination faced by the LGBT community and the discrimination on the grounds of religion, origin and nationality. At the event were presented representatives from 32 organizations and migrant communities.

Specifically, Ms Maria Rossidou from the General Secretariat for Transparency and Human Rights, Ms Tina Stavrinaki from the Network for Recording Racism Violence and Sarah Chander from the European Network Against Racism (ENAR) and the coordinators of the conversations Nadina Christopoulou (Melissa Network), Dimitris Levantis (SOS Racism - Greece), Gregory Vallianatos (GHM) and Lefteris Papagiannakis (SEM).
