Two-thirds of woman in armed forces have experienced sexualised behaviour, internal survey finds
Two-thirds of women in the armed forces experienced sexualised behaviour - from wolf-whistles and dirty jokes to touching and unwanted sexual activity - in the past 12 months, a damning internal survey has revealed.
One-third of servicemen also suffered such treatment. Louise Sandher-Jones, a junior defence minister and former army officer, said the results were "wholly unacceptable".
She said the survey was the first of its kind and called it a "no holds barred baseline to fully confront and address the root causes of this issue". Headline findings from the Armed Forces Sexualised Behaviours and Sexual Harassment survey - published on Thursday - include: • 67% of women experienced at least one sexualised behaviour in the last 12 months, compared to 34% of men • 32% of women were "touched in a way that made [them] feel uncomfortable.
