KALLIERGON syn has organized and is implementing a special International Campaign Against Femicide since 2023 as a stance of zero tolerance and awareness regarding this enduring plague. The campaign symbolically began on November 25, a day designated by the UN as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. 

Women who have left, and continue to leave, a strong mark on society through their way of life —among them recognizable figures to the general public— are voluntarily portrayed in photographic portraits, wearing jewelry made from silver scraps. These photographic portraits are accompanied by related texts from the subjects. The statements and comments are presented in both Greek and English, with hopes that in the future they can be made accessible in various forms that promote inclusion (e.g., videos in sign language).

 

The digital presentation is gradually enhanced and updated at regular intervals. It can be provided free of charge for non-profit use and for a common purpose, upon arrangement with interested parties. This section of the campaign serves as the foundation for it to develop and network in various ways and in many places, primarily through face-to-face communication and interaction.

NOTE: The selection of individuals for the campaign, so far, involves women from various parts of the world, with whom we have occasionally interacted and gotten to know deeper aspects of their personalities. We value their life attitudes and their activism on this particular issue.The selection is made by our team and evolves based on our overall available time.

The KALLIERGON syn team sincerely thanks all the women who pose voluntarily, supporting our work and enhancing our cause, as well as all those who offered to pose and contribute to our campaign, for their trust and participation!

We hope that, over time, we will be able to include them all! 

The support of the campaign through donations will enable us to achieve our goal in the best possible way.

For the story about jewelry made of silver confetti, you can listen to the recorded file below, presented at the 1st Pamvotis Festival, in anticipation of the release of Christina Tzialla's new fiction book, historically based, titled "OUYI, Tropaea From Tropaea". This file is included in one of its chapters, as well as all the texts accompanying the following videos.
