“What are we doing here for women, right now, who are dealing with someone like that?” Comstock asked at the House hearing on preventing sexual harassment on Capitol Hill. During the past few weeks, stories of sexual harassment and gender hostility across many industries have been dominating the news. About 1,500 former Capitol Hill aides have signed an open letter to House and Senate leaders demanding that Congress put in place mandatory harassment training. Shortly afterward House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., sent a memo to fellow lawmakers encouraging them to complete sexual harassment training and make it mandatory for their staffs. Last week, the Senate unanimously approved a measure requiring all senators, staff and interns to be trained on preventing sexual harassment.
