About Us
Oyr storyline
We started οur way. With courage and boldness and without financial support to bring to the Greek reality issues that we had never heard when we were on the bench. Until then, each of us was engaged in collective and feminist activism at school, in the neighborhood, on the islands, and abroad.
Until our journey brought us to form an organization that would have everything we dreamed of: working for social change in workplace conditions that manifest change.

We empower ourselves, the communities around us and vice versa. We share our expertise and strive to make the communities around us better than us. We provide respect, accountability and control of their tools so that each community can create and inspire.
Respect
Respect
We believe in the human’s ability to express the range of their potential in a context of empathy. We also recognise that no individual is more important than any other and that everyone's time is equally valuable. With a goal to achieve change we propose collective solutions to collective issues.
Consistency
Consistency
Our consistency is determined by our experience in implementing projects in the field of gender equality and our sense of responsibility towards our target groups and partner organisations. We always aim for quality and the impact that the final result brings.
Where we Work
Our team started in Thessaloniki, Greece, and since 2020 there have been two bases of operation. Our headquarters are located in the centre of Athens.
We carry out (gender) equality actions in Athens & Thessaloniki. At the same time, we travel to areas outside urban centres to disseminate methods of inclusion and combat gender stereotypes to populations in need.
