GREECE - Uphold the rights of trafficked women

Greece is a destination for trafficked women forced into prostitution. Trafficked women and girls face danger, even when in the custody of the authorities. Instead of receiving protection they are often charged with other offences, such as illegal prostitution.

Send an instant e-mail to the Secretary General of the Ministery of Justice, Panagiotis Panouris, to demand the unconditional protection of trafficked women and girls.

Josephine was brought to Greece after being promised a secure job and a life in Europe. Her "safe passage" to Greece was arranged by people she trusted. She later found out that they were associates of her traffickers. When she arrived in Greece, she was forced to dance in a club and have sex with customers to pay the "debts" to her traffickers. To get her to comply with their demands, her traffickers burned her face with cigarettes and drenched her in scalding and freezing water.
