Media: Legislative Leaders Say They’ve Dealt with Sexual Harassment Complaints
After reports of sexual harassment at the Massachusetts State House came to light in a recent Boston Globe column, BARCC Executive Director Gina Scaramella spoke with State House News Service about the culture of tolerance for sexual harassment and assault on Beacon Hill.
Excerpt: “To create a safe workplace for all, legislative leaders must investigate these complaints and implement explicit workplace safety policies that clearly outline the steps for reporting abuse and the punishments for policy violations. Leaders must then follow through on these policies—without exception,” Scaramella said.
