Farmworker Women and Pesticides in California's Central Valley (Report)
Farmworkers in California's Central Valley face some of the highest levels
of pesticide exposure in the state. PANNA worked with farmworker women
from United Farm Workers (UFW) and the Organización en California
de Líderes Campisinas (Líderes Campesinas) to conduct a pilot study
of farmworker women's experiences with pesticide exposure and associated
medical services in five Central Valley counties. The report reflects
the women's experiences as participants in the project, provides background
information and presents recommendations for policy changes and future
actions to reduce health risks associated with farm work and pesticide
exposure. |
