Back in the U.S., the Senate is poised to overhaul its secretive process for reporting sexual harassment in Congress, with critics saying the changes don’t go far enough toward holding lawmakers accountable. The Senate bill would bar lawmakers from using taxpayer money to settle lawsuits claiming harassment—but taxpayers would still be forced to pay for settlements involving gender discrimination. Both the Senate bill and a separate measure passed by the House earlier this year would end mandatory counseling and mediation periods that required anyone claiming sexual harassment or discrimination to wait months before settling their cases.
