A study released by the National Women’s Defense League (NWDL) has documented 53 allegations of workplace sexual harassment against at least 30 members of the US Congress over the past two decades. The report highlights that while most accused lawmakers have resigned, nine continue to serve in office. The findings come amid increased scrutiny of lawmakers' behavior, particularly following the resignations of Eric Swalwell, a Democrat from California, and Tony Gonzales, a Republican from Texas, both facing serious allegations. The NWDL's report indicates that 77% of the allegations involve legislative staff, suggesting that the actual number of harassment incidents could be significantly higher, as only a third of victims report their experiences. The issue spans both parties, with 60% of allegations against Republicans and 40% against Democrats. Amid these revelations, House Speaker Mike Johnson expressed openness to tightening rules to ensure the safety of staff members. However, NWDL's founding director, Emma Davidson Tribbs, emphasized that resignations do not lead to necessary systemic reforms, urging for consistent policy changes to protect survivors and address the underlying issues.
