The UK's Treasury Committee has urged a ban on finance firms in Britain misusing non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) to silence victims of sexual harassment. In a report on sexism in the City of London, lawmakers called for legislation to prohibit "gagging orders" protecting serial perpetrators and fostering corrosive workplace cultures. The committee expressed shock at the prevalence of harassment and poor handling of allegations in financial services. Progress in combating sexism since 2018 was deemed slow, with corporate inaction labeled both immoral and detrimental to business. The recommendations aim to end impunity for predators and bullies in the industry.
