Some female janitors who clean our workspaces while we sleep are targeted for sexual abuse and rape. (Andrés Cediel/IRP)

This week, The California Report released "Rape on the Night Shift," a collaborative investigation into the sexual abuse of female janitors. The story, produced with our partners FRONTLINE, Univision, the Investigative Reporting Program at UC Berkeley and Reveal from The Center for Investigative Reporting, throws light on an industry in which women’s complaints of sexual assault and rape often have been mishandled or ignored by their employers.

On Wednesday at 11 a.m. PT, three of the journalists behind "Rape on the Night Shift" took your questions during a live chat.

    • KQED Central Valley Bureau Chief Sasha Khokha
    • Reveal reporter Bernice Yeung
    • FRONTLINE and IRP producer Andrés Cediel

In addition to discussing their findings, they fielded your questions and tackled potential solutions. Read through the discussion below.
