Sex workers are having to choose between risking their own and others' safety or having no income during the coronavirus pandemic, a charity has warned.

Cardiff-based charity Safer Wales said it had seen a 69% increase in women contacting them to get help since the start of lockdown.

A south Wales sex worker said it was her only form of income, but while she has moved her services online, she said she is still being pressured by men to meet in person.

"They still ask if I'm doing meet-ups, and when I say 'no' they just say 'please, it'll only take a few minutes'. But in those few minutes, they could still give you the virus," she added.
