“They attack us at night. They throw stones at us and kick us.”

“They stop us, steal our motorcycles, steal our money, beat us up, and steal our orders. We can’t do anything,” says another interviewee, describing what delivery workers experience on the streets of Cyprus and denouncing that they work in fear of violence.
Food delivery drivers share personal stories of how they fell victim to attacks “with knives and screwdrivers” that sent them or their colleagues to the hospital for treatment, while they express complaints about how the police have handled these cases.
