Help end the abuse of Non-Disclosure Agreements!

Non-disclosure agreements (NDA) perpetuate a culture of secrecy, shielding individuals or organizations from the consequences of their actions. Non-disclosure agreements are contracts that were created to protect trade secrets. When used wrongly, secret settlement contracts are used to buy the silence of a victim or whistleblower, and NDA has become the default solution for organizations, corporations, and public bodies to settle cases of sexual misconduct, racism, pregnancy discrimination and other human rights violations.

We need to stand up to Non-Disclosure Agreements, speak out, and stop protecting sexual predators, bullies, racists, and abusers. By writing, you can make a difference and put pressure on our elected leaders.
