Did you know...


  • Greece has one of the highest abortion rates, both when compared to other European countries and the US. 
  • 250,000 abortions take place in Greece each year. 40,000 of which are carried out on young girls under the age of 16. Recently a local doctor told us that the static is actually much higher, closer to 400,000 every year. 
  • Many girls have more than one aboriton. Repeated abortion is a "norm," a traditional form of birth control. 
  • The law allows for abortion until twelve weeks of pregnancy, however some are allowed up to 19 weeks in the case of rape or incest and 24 weeks in cases of fetal abnormality. The United Nations says that people are still not fully aware of the new laws and illegal abortions are still common. 
  • There is no shelter like The Hope Center in teh Athens' sprawling city of 5 million. 

We hope to change these statistics one life at a time!
