- Status is not correct "The law covers employment, housing and every discrimination in general. Although not mentioned directly, discrimination is explained at the end of the law and it covers all three areas, so if I were to sue for discrimination in any of these cases I would be covered by the law completely. The link is the official Greek Government site and the law is in english: https://www.gov.gr/en/sdg/work-and-retirement/equal-treatment/general/law-4443-2016-against-discrimination-at-work-and-employment/"
- Newer law has been passed
