The beginning of the end for silencing victims of the powerful

Long time coming. Long, long time. For decades, workplace victims of sexual violence, of bullying, of harassment, have been silenced with a tool used by business and government alike, the non-disclosure agreement (NDA). It's a one-size-fits-all shooshing machine.

We all hate being silenced - and in this case we should all rage against the machine.

That is especially true if the perpetrator is a rainmaker, someone valuable to the company, to the organisation, to government. Take AMP's behaviour when it knew its big money man was behaving badly. Zero action until the heat got hot. And we have to thank Julia Szlakowski, who bravely took on AMP and spoke out to protect all of us.
