Greece
Greece welcomed tens of thousands of Ukrainian refugees but failed to protect the rights of other asylum seekers and migrants, including by pushing new arrivals back to Turkey. Migrant children face homelessness and lack adequate healthcare and education. Curbs on civil society groups assisting migrants, interference with independent media, and a surveillance scandal raise concerns about the rule of law. Impunity for police ill-treatment is common. Victims of hate crimes are reluctant to report attacks to the police. Women face multiple barriers seeking protection from domestic violence.
