In a large house in the historic center of Lima, a group of prostitutes prepares huge pots of cooked food for their colleagues and families. People in their profession have faced a worrying and uncertain period since Peru enforced a lockdown on March 16.

Despite the lockdown, some sex workers have chosen to risk contracting the coronavirus or arrest in order to go out and work.
