Senators Kirsten Gillibrand and Lindsey Graham announced the Senate passage of The Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act, now on its way to being signed into law.
The legislation will prevent perpetrators from pushing survivors of sexual harassment and sexual assault into the secretive, biased process of forced arbitration. Furthermore, it seeks to protect sexual assault and sexual harassment survivors and allows them the right to justice and public accountability.
