Pelosi and Iwu Propose Digital Controls and Mandatory Reporting to Combat Workplace Sexual Abuse

Summary

Christine Pelosi and Adama Iwu argue that despite public claims of supporting women's safety, sexual misconduct persists in workplaces, particularly in politics. They point to recent resignations of former congressmen Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzales over sexual misconduct allegations. The authors propose a blueprint for change including implementing digital controls (such as requiring professional communication platforms and recording harassment), mandatory reporting of misconduct, ending non-disclosure agreements that silence victims, and holding perpetrators accountable regardless of their political affiliation.
