This week on Locatora Radio, Diosa and Mala respond to New York Times investigative reporting that reveals that Cesar Chavez, civil rights leader and co-founder of the National Farm Workers Association, groomed and sexually abused young girls. Dolores Huerta, feminist leader and co-founder of the National Farm Workers Association, shares her own story of sexual assault for the first time. In this episode, Mala reflects on the victim blaming that survivors deal with. Diosa discusses the culture of silence that enables the abuse of girls and women.
