WHAT ARE NDAs?
Non disclosure agreements are contracts that were created to protect trade secrets but when used wrongly become secret settlement contracts used to buy the silence of a victim or whistleblower. They have become the default solution for organisations, corporations and public bodies to settle cases of sexual misconduct, racism, pregnancy discrimination and other human rights violations.
THE CAMPAIGN COMMITTED TO END THE MISUSE OF NDAs TO BUY VICTIM'S SILENCE
WHAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH NDAs?
NDAs PERPETUATE THE PROBLEM
as they allow a person who has behaved abusively and possibly criminally to stay put or move with impunity to another organisation.
NDAs DON’T PROTECT THE VICTIM
they protect an employer’s reputation and the career of the perpetrator, not the victim who can be protected by a simple one-sided confidentiality clause.
NDAs MAKE VICTIMS LIE
preventing them reporting, speaking to family and friends about their own experiences, or warning others.
NDAs CHILL THE CLIMATE
about their past and in some cases require co-workers to tell lies or risk being sued for defamation.
NDAs GAG VICTIMS PERMANENTLY
for anyone wishing to speak up about abuse in the workplace.
