Thousands of office janitors work at night, cleaning up our work spaces after we go home. Many are immigrants – some undocumented – and many are women. With these conditions, they are particularly vulnerable to sexual violence.

In this first-ever Spanish language podcast from Reveal, a team of investigative journalists worked to uncover this unspoken epidemic, and to advocate for reform.

Violación de un Sueño: Jornada Nocturna was produced by Sasha Khokha, Daffodil Altan, Bernice Yeung, and Andres Cediel, and edited by Deb George for Reveal from the Center for Investigative Reporting, KQED, the Investigative Reporting Program at UC Berkeley, Frontline, and Univision.
