Spain unveiled on Tuesday a series of measures aimed at helping prostitutes and victims of trafficking and sexual exploitation survive the country’s coronavirus lockdown.
Sex workers across the globe have been left destitute by the closure of brothels due to the coronavirus, but only a handful of countries - including Bangladesh - have pledged support.
Women who are living in Spain illegally will be able to access the financial aid, the ministry said, without giving any specific details on how much they will receive.
