Women who are victims of trafficking and sexual exploitation are people used as merchandise and subjected to the control of other people, so they suffer a serious violation of their rights.
Other women in prostitution contexts in the current state of emergency are also being threatened due to the lack of access to basic services.
The Ministry of Equality makes available a resource guide for women in these situations, with contact numbers and information for general advice, but also for specific needs, such as a change of address, financial aid, support in caring for minors, etc. You can download the PDF guide by clicking here.
We remember that women who find themselves in a situation of vulnerability can also contact the Social Services of our municipality, in person at their offices at the Casa da Cultura or by telephone 982 430 447. Current opening hours are Monday to Thursday, 9:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
At the regional level, the Xunta de Galicia has the ‘woman's phone’, a free and anonymous service that operates 24 hours a day. The number is 900 400 273.
In addition, the Council has a online legal advice service for women victims of gender-based violence, available at this link.
