Uber is set to lose just over $1 billion from its market cap after the ride-sharing company said that roughly 6,000 sexual assault cases took place in its cars over the last two years.

In a tweet, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said: “Doing the right thing means counting, confronting, and taking action to end sexual assault.”

The number of sexual assault cases numbered 2,936 in 2017 and 3,045 in 2018 or 5981 over the two years.
