Antiharassment:

U.S. House will require training for all members and staff. »

WASHINGTON» Speaker Paul Ryan on Tuesday announced the House will require anti-harassment and anti-discrimination training for all members and their staffs, just hours after a hearing in which two female lawmakers spoke about incidents of sexual misconduct involving sitting members of Congress.

“Our goal is not only to raise awareness, but also make abundantly clear that harassment in any form has no place in this institution,” said Ryan, RWis. “We will continue our review to make sure the right policies and resources are in place to prevent and report harassment.”

The policy change will happen through legislation.

The move comes days after the Senate unanimously approved a measure requiring all senators, staff members and interns to be trained on preventing sexual harassment.
