An independent review of how the military deals with sexual assault has found that commanders need training in how to prevent what an official calls daily acts of demeaning language and sexual harassment that junior enlisted members experience on the job.
That s one of the findings in a new report from an independent review commission that President Biden appointed. The report includes 28 core recommendations and 54 sub-recommendations aimed at addressing sexual assault and harassment in the military. For as long as we have abhorred this scourge, the statistics and the stories have grown worse. We need concrete actions that fundamentally change the way we handle military sexual assault and that make it clear that these crimes will not be minimized or dismissed, Biden said in a statement, saying his administration would work with Congress to implement the recommendations.
