"Police in Athens frequently harass and abuse homeless people, people who use drugs, and sex workers, Human Rights Watch said today (para 1). 'Women sex workers' would also be targeted, although sex work is not illegal. The new plan raises concerns that without the necessary reforms, longstanding police practices – including physical abuse, discrimination, arbitrary detention, and harassment – will continue, Human Rights Watch said (para 5)."

"The fact that large numbers of women returned to the traditional gender role of ‘housewives’ might have been helpful for the family as a whole, but it compromised—among other things—their own economic independence...First, as women lose their economic independence, they also lose their ability to escape romantic relationships that were or became abusive.
