In Conversation with Nantina Tsekeri, Defence for Children International Greece
In this episode, SolidariTee CEO Alexa Netty speaks to Nantina Tsekeri, head of Defence for Children International (DCI) Greece, one of SolidariTee's grant recipients. They discuss DCI Greece's recent report, 'In The Shadows', which analyses the challenges by accompanied children and their mothers on the move in Greece, and the importance of legal and psychosocial aid in providing support to these groups.
We are grateful to Nantina for her participation and the insights she provided about these issues.
