We need policies and initiatives that bring dignified and safe spaces for migrant women, where both their physical and emotional well-being are respected and looked after. Let's continue to call on Congress to ensure that all people working in agriculture, including farmworkers, have access to mental health care. ?

Launched in January 2024, the EEOC’s REACH Initiative strives to enhance outreach to vulnerable workers and underserved communities who are often the least likely to seek the agency’s assistance, despite their great need. REACH Initiative events this year included in-person listening sessions with advocates and workers as well as site visits to pre-apprenticeship programs, worker centers, and community-based organizations across the country, including in Ohio, California, the District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Maine, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, Texas, West Virginia, and on Tribal lands. As stated by our President and Founder Monica Ramirez, we commend the EEOC for their initiative: "Justice for Migrant Women is rooted in community because we understand that the true experts who can provide insight into the issues and priorities that must be addressed are located in towns and cities throughout our nation, not just in Washington, D.C," said Monica Ramirez, "REACH bridges the gap between the government and real people on the ground. Ensuring that all people can live and work in a world free from violence and discrimination is only possible when migrant and rural women are leading, and we commend the EEOC for making this a priority."

I am proud to join @mujerxsrising's COO @thereallp0906 to gather with our colleagues & our comrades from around the globe in Capetown, South Africa for the Sexual Violence Resource Institute's (SVRI) 2024 Forum. Thanks to the support of @collectivefuturefund we are gathering in community with 1500 activists, researchers, advocates, artists, funders and allies from 115 countries to learn, to ask hard questions; to heal; to inspire and be inspired; to dream and strategize; and to plan for the work that we must continue to do together and separately to address sexual and gender based violence in all of its forms. We dream of a world that is free of violence at home, in workplaces, in conflict, in schools and in communities around the world. Many of us who are in attendance identify as survivors of sexual violence. Ending sexual violence and all gender based violence is not just work for us. It is our mission and our vocation. We know that it is possible to end gbvh everywhere with the necessary commitment from community, government, philanthropy, civil society, the media and many more people, as well as institutions. It is a privilege to be in attendance to represent J4MW and to be here as the co-chair of CFF's newly formed Advisory Council with such incredible leaders and changemakers. We look forward to deepening our relationships to create the kinds of strong networks and interventions that are required to eradicate this endemic problem. #Connect #Share #Learn #EndViolence
