Farmworker women held a vigil Friday morning in an east Salinas apartment to raise awareness about sexual harassment and assault in the fields. Theirs was one of several events in central and Southern California scheduled for April, Sexual Assault Awareness month.
Friday's event was organized by Paula Placencia, assistant coordinator for Lideres Campesinas in Salinas, King City, Watsonville and Napa and Sonoma counties. She runs two educational meetings monthly in Salinas at varying locations.
