About 90% of submissions to a Victorian government-led consultation have recommended restricting the use of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) in cases of sexual harassment, with a legal centre revealing pressure was put on a 15-year-old girl to sign one while she was working at a supermarket.
The Victorian government has released the 46 written submissions to its consultation paper, which proposed several possible reforms designed to tackle the misuse of NDAs to cover up sexual harassment.
