Canela and Norma, both residents of Casa Xochiquetzal, at the shelter in Mexico City, Mexico on September 3, 2013. Living under a single roof hasn’t been easy. Although many of the women knew one another for years on the streets, they competed for clients. Casa Xochiquetzal is a shelter for elderly sex workers in Mexico City. It gives the women refuge, food, health services, a space to learn about their human rights and courses to help them rediscover their self-confidence and deal with traumatic aspects of their lives. Casa Xochiquetzal provides a space to age with dignity for a group of vulnerable women who are often invisible to society at large. It is the only such shelter existing in Latin America.
