"In addition, the rape crisis centers have suffered for years from inadequate funding and a lack of public concern."

"Most farm workers who have been sexually assaulted or raped are women. Women make only 32% of all farm workers. The vast majority – if not all – supervisors are men. Agricultural contractors are men. And men dominate the ownership and/or management of farms and agricultural operations. Farm-working women are not only a minority in the workplace, they work for lower wages than their male coworkers, often in more labor-intensive and dangerous positions, further marginalizing them. Farm-working women exist in world where men dominate and dictate nearly all aspects of their employment."
