Refugee women in Greece live in fear, avoiding washrooms because of sexual harassment


LESBOS, GREECE—The washrooms at the Moria refugee camp on the Greek island of Lesbos sit on a slope next to rows of tents and makeshift containers. Moria is Greece’s largest refugee camp on Lesbos. Women make up 21 per cent of refugee camps on Lesbos, while girls make up 12 per cent of the population. Some women wear diapers at night to avoid having to make the trek to communal washrooms, said Marion Bouchetel, a policy adviser with Oxfam Greece. One refugee woman from Iran said she’s scared at night and so are her children.
