Uber Technologies Inc. moved one step closer to releasing data on the prevalence of sexual assault in the U.S. involving drivers and customers of its app with a report outlining how it will categorize incidents of sexual harassment, misconduct and assault.
The 53-page report released Monday, written by experts at the National Sexual Violence Resource Center and the Urban Institute, offers 21 distinct categories, from “staring or leering” to “non-consensual penetration.” The taxonomy will help the global ride-hailing company to clearly record reports of sexual misconduct.
