Event: Break the Silence

Five years was too long.

Five years of the Tsiaras Law. Five years since the government of Kyriakos Mitsotakis and New Democracy opened the door to the far-right lobby of men's and fathers' rights. Since they legislated within parliament and trained every judge in this country so that abusive men could blackmail their ex-partners using their children as a tool, so that they could exert power over and abuse children and women even outside of marriage. So that child support would be cut in half and their power increased fivefold. Five years since they passed the dystopian Kafkaesque nightmare of mandatory joint custody, so that no mother would dare report the abuse of her child, since she now risks losing custody and going to prison.

Today at 6 pm at Eteron (38-40 Leokoriou St., Psyrri), the journalistic investigative team The Manifold will talk to us about how the Greek authorities treat victims who dare to report domestic violence and/or child sexual abuse.

Speaking with them:
Giorgos Nikolaidis
Psychiatrist, Director of Mental Health and Social Welfare at the Institute of Child Health
Kiki Petroulaki
Psychologist, President of the European Network Against Violence
Ioanna Stentoumi
Lawyer

We will be there to listen to what we have been living through for five years now. Because recording and documenting is a tool of resistance.

Five years was too long.
Repeal the Tsiaras Law.
