Human rights play a critical role in the maintenance of a balanced society and public order. Particularly, the exercise and preservation of human rights protects also vulnerable groups such as refugee women and children. This ethnographic research explores the maintenance or the violation of women and unaccompanied minors' rights in Greek society. The policies are also indicated and the strategies that the Greek Government applies to protect them. This study also examines refugee and asylum-seeking women, girls, and children from another point of view, going through their daily lives in the host country. The enforcement or infringement of their rights in education, in a basic standard of life, in mental health and healthcare, as well as in legal support are the main sections that are elaborated. Certainly, this research takes into account the broader sociopolitical context in Greece and specific Arabic countries and focuses on the refugee's integration.
