Minister: NDAs Silence Women's Stories

The UK's minister for women has voiced concerns that the government's efforts to curb the abusive use of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) have not gone far enough. Bridget Phillipson highlighted that NDAs are being employed in ways that silence women who have important experiences to share. These comments arise in the context of recent, significant allegations involving public figures.

It has been suggested that in these cases, women who wished to speak out felt prevented from doing so due to signing non-disclosure agreements. The government is reportedly reassessing the implications and usage of NDAs in light of these concerns.
