In their own voice seasonal field female workers and violence in Baja California South This article presents first results of a research developed in 2003 in collaboration with the Autonomous University of South Baja California on violence against women of the migrating labor population, who work and reside in two communities of an agricultural company that has operated for several decades in this State. The company hires up to 3000 workers: men, women, children from southern Mexico to produce vegetables for export during the planting and harvest seasons. The study’s objective was to learn, from the women’s
own voices, the extent of violence in these communities and to design an appropriate intervention model for this particular population.
