ATHENS, Nov. 24 -- On the eve of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women which falls on Nov. 25 each year, Greek authorities, experts and victims of abuse called on women suffering in silence across the country to "speak up." It was the main slogan during a symbolic march organized on Saturday in the center of Athens by local feminist groups. It was also the message conveyed by Greek officials, forensic medical examiners and women who have been abused and found the strength to seek support and put an end to violence. |
