Distressed to find aging homeless women still working as prostitutes in downtown Mexico City womens' groups are preparing a roomy retirement home to take 65 of them off the streets. Rejected by their families and stripped of much of their earnings by policemen and pimps, the elderly sex workers say they have no choice but to keep working, sometimes for less than $2
(1 pound) a day or just a plate of food. "I may have two or three clients a day but I can't charge what the young ones do. Sometimes I just ask for food or a hotel room," said Gloria Maria, a kindly faced woman of 74 who mostly sleeps outdoors in a grimy downtown food market.
