🚨 654 Out of 654: Every Single Thai Agricultural Worker Surveyed in Israel Said They Were Sexually Assaulted

In October 2021, buried inside a Knesset committee hearing (that’s basically Congress in Israel), a fact emerged so staggering, so damning, that it should have made front-page headlines across the globe.

According to research presented to Israel’s Special Committee on Foreign Workers, every single Thai agricultural worker surveyed in Israel — 654 out of 654 — reported being sexually assaulted on the job.

Not a majority. Not “many.” Not “a high percentage.” All of them.
