Midday on WNYC | Jan 15, 2018

Producer Daffodil Altan discusses the new Frontline documentary, “Rape on the Night Shift” which airs January 16 on PBS at 10 PM. It looks at how immigrant women in the janitorial industry are particularly vulnerable to sexual violence, and how many don't report attackers for fear they’ll lose their jobs or be deported.
