Congress isn't doing enough to protect staff from sexual misconduct, lawmakers say

Members of Congress are voicing concerns that legislative bodies are not adequately addressing sexual misconduct among staff. Lawmakers have noted a lack of a centralized reporting system for workplace harassment on Capitol Hill. In response to this perceived gap, some female representatives have initiated their own efforts to provide support and reporting mechanisms.

This situation highlights a critical need for robust and accessible systems to ensure a safe and respectful working environment for all congressional staff.
