The National Women's Law Center published 2020 Progress Update: Me Too Workplace Reforms in the States. Wendy Musell was included as one of the legal experts quoted in the publication. Regarding workplace harassment reforms should not be limited to sexual harassment, Wendy Musell is quoted, ““It isn't just white women who are getting sexually harassed, so it is an artificial construct to not include race, national origin, religion, etcetera [when strengthening anti-harassment protections]. Looking forward, we have a moment of opportunity that should be grasped to fill in these gaps on a national and statewide basis.”
On the topic of expanding access to justice, including extending statutes of limitations, Wendy Musell is quoted, ““Extending California's statute of limitations has been “extremely helpful for low-wage workers, who . . . often need to make very difficult decisions: how you pay rent, put food on the table, versus making a complaint. Having the additional time to stabilize their economic situations before they proceed is very important, and I think is one of the greatest positive moves for low income survivors of harassment.” https://nwlc-ciw49tixgw5lbab.stackpathdns.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/v1_2020_nwlc2020States_Report.pdf
