It’s also necessary to make sure that the situation is better for the women who come after them. An environment such as that at Fox News, where hierarchy and extreme loyalty are seemingly valued over compliance with the laws banning sexual harassment, makes it difficult for targets of harassment to come forward. Sexual harassment is about control, power and those who abuse it. It can be stopped only when companies recognize that everyone benefits when women can work in a workplace that is abuse-free. The lack of cultural accountability for sexual harassment is not limited to Fox News, Uber or other high-profile business operations.
