All workers should feel comfortable and safe in their workplaces. WCAHS offers Sexual Harassment Prevention training to agricultural workers.

The WCAHS Outreach & Education team traveled to Morelia, Mexico, this past August to present their recent work on addressing sexual harassment in the agricultural workplace.

Preventing sexual harassment in the agricultural industry is the focus of graduate student Kimberly Prado's research. She received a WCAHS Small Grant for the project.

The PBS FRONTLINE 2013 documentary, “Rape in the Fields,” highlights undocumented women from California’s Salinas and Fresno areas as well as Washington’s Yakima Valley experience with sexual harassment and rape suffered at the hands of their supervisors.
