"rape on the nightshift" frontline (pbs) tonight



Every night, as most of us head home, janitors across America — many of them women — begin their night shift.

They are often alone or isolated in empty buildings — and vulnerable to sexual violence.

Tonight on FRONTLINE, don't miss Rape on the Night Shift — a stunning report that uncovers the sexual abuse of immigrant women, often undocumented, who clean the malls where you shop, the banks where you do business, and the offices where you work.

It's a collaborative effort with Univision, the Investigative Reporting Program (IRP) at UC Berkeley, Reveal from The Center for Investigative Reporting (CIR) and KQED that builds on our award-winning 2013 investigation Rape in the Fields/Violación de un Sueño, which revealed the sexual abuse of migrant farm workers.

Check your local PBS listings (or stream the full film online starting at 10 p.m. ET), and join us on Twitter during the broadcast using #TheNightShift.

No, wait - there was some screaming at the assholes who keep denying they abused the women.
