| The Initiative to End Family Violence and the Literary Journalism Program invite you to a book talk with 2019 Pulitzer Prize finalist and ProPublica reporter, Bernice Yeung, followed by a conversation with Ada Briceño, co-president of UNITE-HERE Local 11. |
|
| Women workers in a variety of industries from farming, janitorial work, domestic and hotel work, and more, have long been sexually victimized by those in power. Their fight for safety in the workplace has not often been the subject of media coverage. Some years ago, investigative journalist Bernice Yeung began a series of reports on rape and sexual violence against women farm workers and then janitors. Her work has now culminated in a well-timed book.
Join author Bernice Yeung for a discussion of In a Day’s Work: The Fight to End Sexual Violence Against America’s Most Vulnerable Workers. The book chronicles the journeys of women who sought to disrupt the patterns that promote invisibility and help all immigrant women facing exploitation. |

The project won an Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Award and a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award and was a finalist for the Goldsmith Prize for Investigative Reporting.
