In 2014, FUTURES launched Low Wage, High Risk, a pilot site project to address the vulnerability of low-wage workers to gender-based violence and exploitation.
As part of this project, a pilot site was established in Immokalee, Florida, in partnership with the Fair Food Program: a groundbreaking model for using the power of the market to ensure workers receive fair wages and are free from sexual violence and human trafficking.
A key element of this initiative is a human-rights-based Code of Conduct, developed by tomato workers, growers, and corporate buyers to form the foundation for a new model of workplace culture change social accountability.
Visit Workplaces Respond’s National Resource Hub on Sexual Harassment & Violence for best practices in developing Workplace Codes of Conduct, as well as a model code.
