Ayia Napa: Allegations of Exploitation and Sexual Harassment of British Women in Channel 4 Documentary

A Channel 4 documentary has recorded allegations of exploitation and sexual harassment of young British women working in Ayia Napa through a specific agency. The allegations concern unacceptable working and living conditions, low wages, threats, and offers of sexual favors from nightclub owners. The Mayor of Ayia Napa, Christos Zanettou, stated that the existence of isolated incidents cannot be ruled out, but they do not reflect the overall picture of the area. The Municipality will contact the relevant authorities to identify and address illegalities and will proceed with the inspection of properties where seasonal workers reside.
