SCENARIO 1:
On April 25, 2006, more than 200 farmworkers gathered Florida, to honor Olivia Tamayo, a field laborer who endured six years of sexual violence and harassment at the hands of her employer.
Tamayo sued her boss, and her case ultimately became the first suit brought by a female farmworker ever to reach a jury. That lonely statistic raises the question: How many more Olivia Tamayos are out there?
A study done for California State University found that 90 percent of farmworker women reported sexual harassment on the job as a major problem. Hundreds, if not thousands, of women in California alone have been sexually abused in the workplace, according to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
Female farmworkers often dress to appear as men - baggy pants and shirts, long hair tucked under ball caps, and bandanas to cover their faces. They dress this way, even on the hottest days, as a way to conceal feminine features and fend off harassment and unwanted sexual advances.
Nearly two years to the day after the gathering in , Fla., farmworkers joined with community organizations and schools to launch the "Bandana Project" in 40 cities across the country. Farmworker women and their allies decorated simple white bandanas and organized displays in museums, community centers and schools to raise awareness about sexual exploitation of women in the fields.
"With the help of our partners around the country, we will shed light on this serious problem," said Mónica Ramírez, the project's organizer. "It is our goal to send the message to workplace abusers that we will fight to stop the abuse of women, because no one should be forced to give up their dignity in order to feed their family."

the farm ladyyyyy
they expoting her by sexually harrasing her
her self confidence is being taken
Female farmers are being exploited. A girl named Olivia Tamayo, was sexually abused for six years by her employer. He was taking her confidence and dignity, women were dressing like men so that they wouldn't attract harassment.
the farm worker was being exploit by the men because they tried to embarrassed her and taking away her pride and dignity
I believe that she have every right to defend her self and never let anyone take over her life by abusing her
in many ways.
They tried to embarrassed and taking away her pride and dignity..
I think it's wrong for people to use other people
- i feel as though its not cool for these men to exploit these women like this . how would they feel if somebody exploited them that way ? they wouldn't like it not one little bit . i disagree w. the sexual harassment .
her dignity was taking away from her
Oliva Tamayo Is Being Exploited ;
Employers Are Doing The Exploiting ; Women Are Being Sexually Abused In The Work Place ; My Personal Beliefs Are That This Is A Bias Action Because Most Mean Dont Believe Women Belong in The Work Place ,
No one should be forced to give up their dignity ..
The people that are being exploited were farmers and were being abused and harassed. The men were also doing the exploiting and disrespecting the women farmers.
Personally I Think treating women or anyone that kind of way is not the respectful way and the appropriate way.

its not cool for these men to exploit these women like this . Women Are Being Sexually Abused In The Work Place ; My Personal Beliefs Are That This Is A Bias Action Because Most Mean Dont Believe Women Belong in The Work Place ,
I dislike that they took the women dignity and now she it might have low self astem. The workes was wrong on what they had done to the women .
That not right how they rape that women like that and took her self esteem down

Female farmworkers being sexually harassed by males.
Very uncomfortable and it's violating a female's personal keepsakes. Technically taking away their confidence.
in scenario 1 they used sexual violence, they sexually abused there child

It's not right that the women are being exploited in such a disrespectful way,its just cruel.Its like going back to the 19 or 1800's where women have no right!Those men need some serious punishment,they're disgraceful!
