The mission of Athens Pride is to elevate the visibility of LGBT persons in Greece, and in so doing advance their rights and demands. Athens Pride also raises youth awareness and support through its volunteer program and provides a free public platform for all LGBTQI community organizations to put forth their aims, activities, and specific demands.
