The #MeToo movement shined a light on sexual assault, harassment, and discrimination in Hollywood, the halls of Congress, workplaces, and college campuses. The movement has empowered countless survivors and provided opportunities for them to hold perpetrators accountable. But more must be done.

That is why we introduced the bipartisan Stop Silencing Victims Act. Currently, many victims who wish to speak out about their experiences are legally prohibited by nondisclosure agreements signed following a settlement. The Stop Silencing Victims Act will eliminate that legal barrier, putting an end to the systematic concealment of public sector sexual harassment.
