Syrian refugee women sexually harassed in Lebanon: HRW

Women refugees who escaped Syria's conflict to find sanctuary in neighboring Lebanon have been sexually harassed by employers, landlords and an employee of a local aid group, Human Rights Watch said on Wednesday. The organization said it interviewed a dozen women who described being groped, harassed and pressured to have sex. "Women who have fled death and destruction in Syria should find a safe haven, not sexual abuse, in Lebanon," said Liesl Gerntholtz, HRW's women's rights director.
