'I was sexually harassed working on farms'

Lupe Gonzalo came to the US from Mexico 15 years ago, to earn a living harvesting tomatoes in the fields of Florida. She found that sexual harassment and abuse were commonplace, with most people too scared and financially vulnerable to speak out. She now works with the 'Coalition of Immokalee Workers' conducting workers’ rights education in farms around the US as part of an initiative called the 'Fair Food Program'. Emily Thomas spoke to her about her experiences. Her answers have been voiced by an actor.
