UK MPs Demand Ban on NDAs in Financial Sector to Combat Sexism

A parliamentary inquiry reveals widespread sexual harassment and bullying in the UK's financial sector, prompting calls for legislative changes and stronger whistleblower protections.

MPs call for new laws to ban non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) in harassment cases within the UK's financial sector.
The Treasury committee's inquiry, 'Sexism in the City,' found a shocking prevalence of sexual harassment and bullying against women.
Recommendations include stronger protections for whistleblowers, a ban on asking for salary history, and mandatory salary bands in job adverts.
The financial sector's gender pay gap remains the largest in the UK, with slow progress on increasing female representation in senior roles.
Regulators and the government are urged to review the impact of removing the bonus cap on gender pay inequalities.
