Our Military has a Problem with Rape!
So if you or someone you know is considering joining the military you should know
the following
• 25 % of women will be sexually assaulted on a college campus.
• 12 % of women will be raped while in college.
• 66 % of women in the military REPORT sexual assault
• 27 % of women in the military are REPORTED raped
BUT……
Sexual assault remains a pervasive problem for women in the military, including
those currently deployed overseas. The military's hierarchy is ill-equipped and
unwilling to deal fairly with rape complaints.
AND what are they doing about it currently?……………
Not Much According to the Department of Defense’s own statistics 74-85% of soldiers
convicted of rape or sexual assault leave the military with honorable discharges
(meaning the assault conviction does not appear on their record!). Only 2-3% of
soldiers accused of rape are ever go to court martial. And only 5-6% of soldiers
accused of domestic abuse are ever go to court martial. In fact several multiple
homicides have recently taken place on military bases that have not even been
criminally prosecuted!
*Statistics taken from Pentagon Stats, DoD, and RAINN backed up numbers.
• 23% of women have experienced military sexual assault
• 11% of women have experienced rape
• 1.2% of men have experienced rape
• Service branch with the highest percentage of women reporting sexual trauma:
Army (recently changed from Marine Corps)
• 20% of women seeking care at VA facilities have experienced sexual trauma
• 1% of men seeking care at VA facilities have experienced sexual trauma
• 8.3 percentage of women report lifetime PTSD related to MST
• More than half of the incidents took place at a military work site and during duty
hours
• The majority of the offenders in these cases were military personnel
• Factors that increase risk of sexual assault for active duty females include
presence of officers who condone or allow sexual harassment and unwanted sexual
attention

Sexual Trauma in the Armed Forces
• Number of sexual assaults reported in 2006: 2,947
• Number of sexual assaults by service members reported in 2006: 1,167
• Number of sexual assaults reported in 2007: 2,714
• Number of sexual assaults by service members reported in 2007: 2,085
-Please note that the numbers above are unrestricted reports which means they have
to tell everything. In the civilian world only 40% of women are willing to even report
the incident to the police. (numbers according to RAINN) From my experience it's a
much lower percentage reporting assault or rape in the military.
