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.

Victims of hate crimes are reluctant to report attacks to the police. Women face multiple barriers seeking protection from domestic violence.
