the body in crisis
According to a study by the Greek Center for Social Sciences, prostitution has increased by 150% in two years. The economic crisis that has afflicted Greece for years has had very profound, sometimes intimate, effects. In the center of Athens, around Omonia Square, dozens of prostitutes, often drug addicts, sell their bodies for a few euros in crooked hotels. In the side streets,people use heroin open air, porn movie theaters offer dark room where young boys offer sex to the elderly. In a park nearby, young refugees, often minors, escaped from hell, end up selling sex for 3 or 4 €. Behind all this, there is exploitation, trafficking, organized crime, or, for the lucky ones, only struggle for survival.
