The statistics are frightening: 8 of 10 farmworker women experience sexual harassment or assault. One of the ways in which we can help to change this culture of violence in agriculture is by advocating for policy change as well as prevention and training

It has been 5 years since Maricruz shared her powerful story. In the PSB documentary, "Rape in the Fields," she exemplifies the fears keeping many farmworkers silent about their experiences.
