Ed & Training

¡BASTA! Worksite Training & Toolkit: toolkit is a comprehensive worksite resource developed in collaboration with the agricultural community using a community-based participatory research approach. It includes training videos, trainer’s guide, guidance for workplace policies and procedures, workplace posters and key resources. The training video centers around the story of a farmworker and the challenges she faces when she experiences harassment in the workplace. Her story highlights what to do if you experience or witness harassment: who to report to and what information to share. The curriculum also acknowledges the trauma of sexual violence and how cultural barriers can inhibit workers from coming forward. The toolkit takes a multi-level approach by underscoring the roles and responsibilities everyone has for preventing harassment from the growers to the supervisors and the workers. The ¡BASTA! Worksite Training and Toolkit is a well-researched and evidence-based curriculum that was recently awarded Health Education Materials Award for training by the American Public Health Association. 

¡BASTA! Trainings: ¡BASTA! Trainings for agricultural workers focus on the prevention of sexual harassment in the agricultural labor sector in Washington State. Completion of the BASTA training and a successful post-survey allows students to obtain a certification of completion. These trainings are currently co-organized with the UW Pacific Northwest Agricultural Safety and Health Center. 

Sexual Harassment Prevention Wallet Cards: These wallet-sized, laminated cards, originally designed with and for farmworkers in 2013, contain information pertaining to sexual harassment and worker rights regarding sexual harassment within the workplace. See PNASH for more information to adapt/order.

Radionovela (4:51 minutes): A Spanish language novel adapted for radio focused on Sexual Harassment Prevention was developed in collaboration with NCEC/Radio KDNA in Yakima WA. It follows the story of a female farmworker encountering sexual harassment and includes tips on identifying, preventing, and reporting the harassment. 

Training (WA) Advocates on Sexual Harassment (TASH) Project 2020: In collaboration with the Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence, we adapted the BASTA!
