Have you experienced harassment as a tech employee or worker in the gig economy?

Large numbers of tech workers are vulnerable to a wide range of abuses at work, including gig economy workers who lack rights and protections, support staff at corporate headquarters who struggle to make ends meet and content moderators who review violent material.

In recent months, Silicon Valley has faced widespread backlash surrounding the sexual misconduct and discrimination that some say is rampant in the male-dominated tech industry. But there has been much less scrutiny of the challenges facing the lower-paid workforces that allow the industry to function.
