The Greek volleyball team, which recruited the ‘twin sisters’ Lee Jae-young and Da-young, who were virtually expelled from the domestic volleyball world due to the ‘controversy over the perpetrators of school violence’, participated in a campaign against violence against women.
The Greek volleyball team ‘Thessaloniki PAOK’ posted a photo participating in the campaign on the occasion of the ‘International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women’ through the club’s official Instagram on the 25th (local time).
In the published photo, the club players spread their palms with phrases such as ‘NO TO VIOLENCE’ and ‘WE SAY NO!’
The club wrote, “International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. PAOK players say out loud, ‘No!'” and “You are not alone.”

The International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women was established as a resolution of the UN General Assembly in 2013 to raise awareness of the seriousness of gender-based violence, such as violence against women, sexual violence and harassment, and human trafficking in the family and romantic relationships.
Sisters Lee Jae-young and Da-young did not appear in this campaign photo. Jae-young Lee is currently returning to Korea to receive treatment for a knee injury, and Da-young Lee is playing as the main setter for her team.
Previously, Jae-young Lee and Da-young Lee were accused of school violence in February and were asked to leave the volleyball community. The two players were disqualified from the national volleyball team and were suspended from participating in indefinitely by their team, Heungkuk Life Insurance. The two players admitted that they had committed school violence and apologized, but explained that some of the allegations were not true.
Earlier, the Thessaloniki PAOK coach Takis Floros said immediately after signing the two players, “The controversy over school violence has been around for a long time, and the International Volleyball Federation has already approved the transfer of the two players. may tell you to go to Greece,” he said, giving a mocking reaction to domestic volleyball fans.
