Southern Poverty Law Center launches national campaign to raise awareness of sexual violence against immigrant women in food industry
In observance of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, the Southern Poverty Law Center launched a national campaign today to raise awareness about the sexual violence and harassment routinely faced by immigrant women employed in the US food industry.
The US Congress on Thursday approved a new version of the 1994 Violence Against Women Act including protections for same-sex couples and Native Americans who are sexually assaulted by non-Indians.
