Fairtrade on BBC One Panorama’s Sex for Work Broadcast
A Panorama investigative report titled Sex for Work: The True Cost of Our Tea has aired on BBC One alleging gross sexual misconduct and gender-based violence (GBV) on Kenyan tea plantations. The allegations are appalling: 75 percent of the women approached by the BBC’s investigative team admitted to experiencing sexual misconduct by their bosses and hiring managers. For its part, the documentary spotlights a pervasive abuse of power in the workplace that has its roots in a global patriarchal system of gender-based oppression.
