Roma couture

A clothes designer is using the power of fashion to help Roma girls assimilate into society and avoid being treated like second class citizens.
This unique experiment is happening in Greece, where prejudice against the Roma is particularly prevalent.

@bonniekali I don't think the ancient Greeks would have cared much about how stray animals are treated... they would probably be disappointed to find out that they are no longer the rulers of the know world; not even close :)

this is a very interesting project and it is good that it gives an opportunity to speak about Roma in Greece.

So why are you guys here arguing about modern Greece repeating the old arguments over and over I can't hear it anymore *yawn*.

This is about the Roma

Stentami, ancient Greeks would be turning in their graves if they could see modern day Greece!! Plush with money from EU subsidies and tourism, but mentally still acting like a 'banana republic'.  Corrupt to the hilt (and don't try to tell me any different - it's a well known FACT and much reported about in Greece itself!), treating animals like dirt and 'fola' still being a common disgusting & inhumane methods of stray control. Greece is not a civilised country but a cesspit of Europe!! Amen!!

"people like you " you said. Do you think that people like him are also responsible for greece having the worst animal abuse record per capita in the EU?????

Interesting to see that the "famous" Mrs. Ioanna Garagouni came from a humble background, LOL!
