Whenever politicians say something about "protecting women", spare a thought for Spain's Board for the Protection of Women.

"Originally founded in 1902 to stamp out sex work, in 1941, two years after the end of the Spanish civil war, its role was extended to clamp down on female behaviour that deviated from norms laid down by the Catholic church. The board was not closed down until 1985, 10 years after Franco’s death."
