A farm manager was found guilty of sexually assaulting and harassing four Moroccan seasonal workers in Spain. His conviction will restore hope, especially to Moroccan seasonal workers who have been campaigning since 2018 to denounce their alleged attackers.
Flyers distributed by a Spanish trade union to help Moroccan seasonal workers know their rights in the fields featured an indecipherable Arabic script. The initiative launched since January was funded by the Spanish Ministry of Labor.
After temporarily dismissing a complaint filed by Morocco’s seasonal workers in Huelva, a Spanish court decided to reconsider the case. Speaking to Yabiladi, the lawyer of the ten Moroccan farm workers said that the case will be reopened again.
