Greek League for Women's Rights

Affiliated to the International Alliance of Women, the organization continues to be active today.

[1][2] A number of initiatives in support of women had been taken since Greece had obtained independence in 1828, especially in the sphere of education.

In 1872, Kalliopi Kehajia (1839-1905) founded the Society for Promoting Women's Education.

Progress on the educational front was achieved with the admission of women to the University of Athens and in 1911, the establishment of the Lyceum of Greek Women (Lykeion ton Ellinidon), an association striving to revive Greece's glorious past.

[1] In 1982, it established the Centre for Documentation and Study of Women's Problems.
