The rights of intersex persons in Greece

Two resolutions, one by the Council of Europe and the other by the European Parliament, call upon the states of Europe to implement legislative protections guaranteeing the human rights of intersex people across a broad spectrum of their social and personal life. This paper by attorney at law Vasilis Sotiropoulos records the extent to which current Greek legislation is in compliance with the European recommendations in regard to the protection of intersex persons.

LGBTI Rights are Human Rights

The sexual orientation and gender identity of a person remain as reasons of discrimination on world wide ground. Till 1992, homosexuality had been registered as an illness in the ICD- catalogue released by WHO. In more than 70 countries homosexuality and/or the expression of once gender identity (not assigned at birth), nowadays is a reason for criminal prosecution. In twelve countries it is even threatened with death penalty. The Heinrich Böll Foundation is supporting numerous LGBTI- activists and networks in various countries to spread information and to demand (human) rights for LGBTI.
