A damning new report reveals how NDAs—intended for protecting trade secrets—are increasingly weaponized to shield perpetrators, blocking justice and healing. The spotlight intensified after a former Vancouver Symphony violinist was pressured to sign an NDA to settle a sexual assault claim, prompting the orchestra to eventually abandon such agreements in misconduct cases. Advocates, including the Community Legal Assistance Society, argue that gender-based workplace violence persists despite decades of effort, and many—including lawyers and everyday citizens—demand limits or outright bans on abusive NDAs. Calls are now growing for new legislation to invalidate NDAs signed under duress, allowing survivors to speak out safely. Provinces like Ontario and Prince Edward Island have already moved to restrict their use, and B.C.’s Attorney General confirms they’re actively exploring similar legal reforms to better protect victims.
