The ride-hailing companies won’t force sexual harassment and assault victims into arbitration or keep them from speaking out about their experiences.

Uber is dropping mandatory arbitration requirements and nondisclosure agreements for sexual assault and harassment victims, the ride-hailing company said on Tuesday. The announcement is the latest chapter in Uber’s efforts to restore its brand after a series of scandals and missteps. Hours after Uber’s announcement, its competitor, Lyft, said it would waive its arbitration and confidentiality agreements as well.
