CW: SEXUAL ASSAULT AND ABUSE

Artboard 4.png

Description

People come to the U.S. for work, school, or family, but they deserve safety and respect regardless of the reason. Unfortunately, many face conditions that are uncomfortable at best and life-threatening at worst. Women, in particular, suffer from sexual abuse, low pay, and unsafe work environments.

“For these women, workplace exploitation is the rule — not the exception.”

Several organizations, like the United Farmworkers of America and Familias Unidas por la Justicia, fight for fair and safe working conditions. This work was created to raise awareness and encourage mindful choices that support everyone.

95% of U.S. farmworkers come from Central America, with just over half having legal status. Despite their crucial role, they endure low wages, dangerous conditions, child labor, sexual harassment, illness, chemical exposure, and even death. Understanding the history of farm labor in the U.S.—rooted in slavery—sheds light on why agricultural work remains invisible and vulnerable to abuse today.


Even organic farms are not exempt from this issue. Many, like Glaser Organic Farms, have been criticized for subjecting workers to harsh conditions, with their produce still making its way to stores like Whole Foods.
