Keeping up with the situation of Moroccan strawberry pickers in Huelva, the Moroccan Ministry of Employment finally sheds light on one case alleging sexual abuse. The move, however, comes after the department denied on several occasions the existence of one.
After Buzzfeed News published an investigation on Moroccan women working in strawberry farms in Southern Spain, revealing that some of them are subjected to abuse and sometimes rape, Spanish authorities made their first arrest in connection with the case. The arrest comes as the Moroccan Ministry of Employment denied on several occasions the veracity of the alleged sexual abuses.
