""The hands of women farmworkers are something very valuable. Women are indispensable in the fields. You can look at any farm, and you see mainly women.""
""At work sometimes, they don't even give us toilet paper. A lot of times, it's our job to bring the toilet paper because it runs out.""
""That's just not inconvenient. That's unacceptable. No woman should have to choose between her dignity and her paycheck.""
California is introducing a bill to address the healthcare needs of female farmworkers, who often lack access to feminine hygiene products. Many women work in fields without basic necessities like toilet paper and clean restrooms. The proposed legislation, AB 2082, mandates the California Department of Public Health to collaborate with local nonprofits to distribute menstrual hygiene products in impoverished agricultural regions. This initiative seeks to uphold the dignity of women farmworkers and ensure they do not have to sacrifice comfort for their jobs.
