It is clear, for example in our field, that pay is smaller for women except in certain cases. I happen to be getting paid right because I had done the lead role and were forced to pay me fairer. Clearly, there is a terrible gap between pay and pay. We are also in Greece, the term gynaecicide cannot be legally enshrined. We start discussing some things that are obvious. I think it’s very difficult, but it’s much better for a woman than it was 30 years ago. We just have to do a lot more and we have to do it on a political level, they can’t be different.” Then the well-known actress said, regarding LGBTQ+ community rights that: “When something happens it is important to have a phone that you can call and a person can help you. Only collectively can these things be done, you can’t do anything. There will always be racists just can create a framework in society and in our jobs that is not allowed to be racist. I mean it can burn you inside but shut your mouth.” Regarding the negative comments she received at a young age about her weight, but also the health problem she is facing, Leela Baklessi noted that: “At school I heard comments, I just have two parents who adore me. My mom would come home and tell me what a doll I am. I was looking in the mirror and I had no neck, neck. I went to school and they said: “Lina the fat”. I thought I wasn’t fat, I just wore a lot of clothes… Now I know I have a little health issue, I have insulin resistance, so my pancreas isn’t working. All these years I’ve been taking 10 pounds and then losing 10 pounds, taking five pounds, losing five pounds. Turns out it was something I couldn’t control. We should go to the doctor. Going to a doctor, there’s nothing wrong with doing our little tests. Each body is different.”
