Lesvos, Greece / August 7, 2017

Her application to marry her partner was initially rejected by the Municipality of Lesvos, due to her inability to provide a certificate of celibacy and a birth certificate.

Thessaloniki, Greece / May 20, 2017

Two students walk towards the library at Aristotle University. Greece is suffering a ‘brain drain’ of the young and educated.
