背景知识

因司机多次涉性侵案件,多个地方要求美国网约车公司优步发布安全报告。在6日发布的报告中,优步首次详细披露了2017年和2018年该公司收到的性侵犯投诉数量。这份报告出炉之际,优步正面临来自许多城市监管机构的压力,其中包括伦敦。最近,伦敦取消了优步载客的执照,原因是该公司在安全和监管方面存在“失败模式”。自8年前推出以来,安全问题一直困扰着优步。优步今年早些时候上市,但其股价一直在下跌。今年8月,优步公布了创纪录的52亿美元季度亏损。今年10月,该公司进行了近几个月来的第三轮裁员,裁掉了350名员工。

Uber passengers reported over 3,000 sexual assaults last year, report says


More than 3,000 Uber passengers reported sexual assaults in 2018, the ride-sharing company revealed in its first-ever safety report on Friday. Nine passengers were murdered and 58 riders were killed in crashes last year, the report said. These incidents, which include 229 rapes, represent just a fraction of the more than 1.3bn rides Uber facilitated in the US in the past year, but they come at a time when the company is increasingly under scrutiny for worker and rider safety conditions.


At an October hearing, a House committee called on Uber and its rideshare competitor Lyft to improve safety measures. The companies have been criticized over background check processes and responses to sexual assaults during rides.


Uber began examining the issue of sexual assault in late 2017 and has worked with organizations such as the National Sexual Violence Resource Center to improve its reporting process for sexual violence and other safety issues. It has tripled the size of its safety team to 300 employees since 2017, and is set to launch a hotline in partnership with the not-for-profit organization Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network (Rainn).

翻译卡 ☞ 报告:去年收优步乘客上报性骚扰案情3000余例


星期五,共享通行公司在其首次安全形势报告中披露,仅2018年,就有超过3000名乘客受到性骚扰。报告中还提到,去年有9名乘客遭遇谋杀,58名乘客在意外中身亡。这些事件中还包括229起强奸案,这对于优步去年在美超过13亿次的订单来说仅仅是一小部分,但这些事件发生,导致对员工和乘客的安全状况提出越来越多的质疑。


十月的一场听证会上,众议院委员会要求优步和其竞争企业来福加强安全系数。上述企业对乘车期间发生性骚扰事件的回应和调查程序一直饱受诟病。


2017年底,优步开始对性骚扰事情展开调查,并与国家性暴力资源中心合作,旨在提高性暴力和其他安全事件的上报速度。2017年以来,公司安全部门扩编了3倍,现有300名员工负责安全事务,另外还与非盈利组织(Rainn)“国家(反)强奸、虐待和乱伦网”合力开通热线。
