Gestion du harcèlement sexuel au Congrès: un mode d'emploi

Selon plusieurs observateurs les récentes accusations d'inconduites sexuelles (Al Franken et Samuel Conyers) ne constitueraient que la pointe de l'iceberg, mais déjà on soulève des questions sur les procédures de gestion des plaintes contre des élus. Un système qui protège les politiciens? Un mauvais usage de l'argent des contribuables pour défendre les accusés? Un petit topo pertinent sur le site de POLITICO.

 Un exemple des thèmes abordés:

 "Are victims of harassment required to keep their experience confidential?

The compliance office says that "there is no restriction on whom you can tell" about pursuing a harassment claim, but victims are subjected to confidentiality requirements during their mandatory counseling and mediation periods. An aide who might want to speak out about their harassment claim, including talking to their employer, can ask to waive confidentiality during counseling.
