Andrea has a phoenix tattooed on her arm and the date she escaped from her captors. She spent five years on the streets of the Marconi industrial estate, one of the epicenters of sexual slavery in Madrid.

During those years, he survived on energy drinks and tobacco. I had to hear every day that I wasn’t even good enough to “be a whore.” Chains were…
