A report out today reveals that 58% of 16,500 serving military women and 64% of women veterans have been victims – and the worst offences include rapes and assaults. The report, by the Women in the Armed Forces sub-committee, makes 53 recommendations to the Ministry of Defence to tackle the mistreatment of females. It claims that failings are preventing women from reaching their potential and putting them at risk of serious harm. We shall examine this report closely and use it to build on the improvements we have made.”
