Military Sexual Assualt Policy and Cultural Reform

Brand new hot off the press!


Please take a moment to watch this video to see policy and cultural reform in action

What kind of justice is this? When a victim risks their career to pursue charges of sexual assault in a male dominated culture. Then when successful in proving the case the ruling is shot down by a unrelated general! How can anyone feel safe? How can anyone see the benefit in pursuing charges in the military? What stops the assaulter from continuing these horrible acts on victims that have to just deal with it.  How can this be acceptable practice?

For more on Military Sexual Trauma I suggest watching the documentary The Invisible War.
You can also see the other services and mission of Service Woman's Action Network at   SWAN

Stay tuned to see how this develops. Will it actually be the tipping point or will the good ole' boy network win again?
