Sexism in Greece

Public Initiative on Gender, Violence & Social Narratives

Overview

Sexism in Greece is a public-facing initiative focused on documenting, analysing and translating lived experiences of sexism, gender inequality, online misogyny and gender-based violence within the Greek context into accessible public discourse and practice-oriented reflection.

A central aim of the initiative is to connect public discourse, lived experience, and psychosocial understanding in ways that support prevention, awareness, and community-level responses to gender inequality and gender-based violence.

Focus Areas

Gender-based violence & everyday sexism

Exploration of how gender-based violence and sexism manifest in both visible and subtle forms across social, institutional, and relational contexts.

Online misogyny & digital gendered harm

Focus on digital environments as spaces where misogyny, harassment, and gendered abuse are produced, amplified, and normalized.

Gender norms, identity & social expectations

Analysis of how gender expectations shape identity, behaviour, emotional experience, and relational dynamics.

Psychosocial translation of lived experience

Translation of clinical and systemic understanding into accessible public discourse, connecting psychological processes with social structures.

Approach

The initiative is grounded in:

• systemic and relational thinking
• psychosocial and gender-sensitive frameworks
• experiential and reflective formats
• participatory dialogue
• public communication and awareness work
• GSRD-informed (Gender, Sexual & Relationship Diversity) affirmative practice

The emphasis is on connecting theory, practice, and lived experience in ways that are accessible beyond academic or clinical settings.

Activities

• public awareness content on sexism and gender-based violence
• experiential workshops and group-based facilitation formats
• public engagement on gender equality and social norms
• participation in discussions and events on gender-based violence prevention
• contribution to intersectional and gender-focused dialogues in public spaces

Positioning in Gender Equality Work

Sexism in Greece operates at the intersection of:

• gender-based violence prevention
• online misogyny and digital harm discourse
• psychosocial and systemic gender analysis
• public engagement and awareness work
• participatory and experiential learning formats

It functions as a bridge between clinical insight, social analysis, and public-facing communication, creating pathways between lived experience, prevention work, and gender equality initiatives.
