Women have obstacles that their male counterparts

don’t


The Truth of

the Matter


There were 3,192 reported incidents of sexual assault in

the military last year


Men in positions of power and leadership are the number #1 offenders


Many victims are ignored due to their style of dress or the rank or position of

the accusedhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/35703177@N00/439700167/

Help is on the

Way


In 2012, the President signed an act that changed the way the

Defense Department investigates and prosecutes

sexual assault cases


Only 8% of military sexual assault cases are decided in

court


Males have an estimated 92% chance of avoiding a court-martial if found guilty of sexual assault against another service member




S.H.A.R.P. provides victims with the

ammunition to fight back


The Military Rape Crisis Center provides support through counseling and shared

experience


The big Picture


Female service members are force multipliers in combat

and peacetime


They put their well-being on the line everyday they wear their

respective uniformshttp://www.flickr.com/photos/35703177@N00/4098457488

It is everyone’s duty to ensure that their interests are protected, just as they

protect ours.
