more violence against women in the workplace (2011), produced by the National Association of Rural and Indigenous Women ANAMURI, with further
subsidies from fi eldwork interviews with the temporeras carried out in February and March 2011. Th ere is evidence of the feminisation of that seasonal labour force and a partial reconfi guration of gender relations within households.
