Syrian female refugees are suffering from extensive sexual abuse in Lebanon, the Human Rights Watch has warned expressing concern about their safety.

The rights organization said on Wednesday that it had interviewed a dozen female refugees in Lebanon who said they had been sexually harassed and exploited.

“Women who have fled death and destruction in Syria should find a safe haven, not sexual abuse, in Lebanon,” said Liesl Gerntholtz, women’s rights director at Human Rights Watch.
