One in five experience sexual harassment at UK Parliament
Tehran (KNA) - Nearly one in five people working in Britain’s Parliament were sexually harassed or witnessed inappropriate behavior in the past year, said a report commissioned after a series of sex scandals at Westminster.
The report, published on Thursday, called for a new complaints procedure along with radical change of a culture that can deter some from challenging bosses and suggested forms of punishment for those found guilty of harassing their staff.
"This is a big day for parliament and our politics," said Andrea Leadsom, leader of the House of Commons lower house of parliament. "This is a major step in bringing about the culture change that parliament needs."
