Congress passes law invalidating NDAs in sexual abuse cases

Congress Passes Law Restoring Victims’ Voices, Banning NDAs in Sexual Harassment Cases, Kim Elsesser, Forbes Magazine.

Congress recently voted to invalidate nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) that businesses may require sexual abuse survivors to sign. These NDAs do not allow employees to speak about harassment or assault they experienced on the job.

The Speak Out Act restores the voices of survivors of these survivors. It is hoped that stopping these NDAs not only gives survivors a voice, but may deter future sexual harassment and assault events at work.

Louisiana’s Legal Window for Abuse Survivors is Closing

Days left in the lookback window
Closes June 14th, 2027

On June 14, 2027, Louisiana’s lookback window closes. Until then, survivors of past childhood sexual abuse can bring a civil claim – even if the old deadline had already passed. Once it closes, that opportunity may be gone.
