    Essential and Overlooked: The Silent Struggles of Latinas in the Workforce
    Dec 23 2024

    From healthcare to home care, education to service industries, Latinas are at the forefront of essential labor—but their contributions come at a steep cost. With one of the highest labor market participation rates in the U.S.—even surpassing pre-pandemic levels—Latinas are critical to the workforce, but their stories are often left unheard. How do overloaded schedules, burnout, and workplace safety issues impact not just health but mental well-being? Reporter Julia Binswanger dives into the often overlooked work hazards, injuries, and environmental risks faced by Latinas in the workforce today.

    Living in Survival Mode: Why Latinas Facing Homelessness Experience Simultaneous Health Crises, Part 2
    Dec 16 2024

    Between 2015 to 2019, unsheltered homelessness increased among two populations: women and Latinos. Homelessness carries a social stigma, and getting help is difficult because people do not disclose how much they’re struggling. But housing insecurity—overcrowding, doubling up, and moving often—can be traumatizing and have life-long impacts on a person’s health and well-being. In this episode, reporter Vicky Diaz-Camacho explores the cultural taboos of homelessness and the link between housing instability and overall health of Latinas.
