 In 2014, the Department of Defense had more than 5,900 reports of sexual assault. Sexual assault is an intolerable crime that is still present in our military and impacts mission readiness and command climate. To help eliminate sexual assault, the Navy is fostering a culture change, so all service members are respected regardless of gender. Sailors need to know that they will receive the care, treatment, and protection they need and deserve if something happens to them or a shipmate. The officers, sexual assault response coordinators, SAPRA representatives, and victim advocates are hard at work to facilitate this change. Sexual violence will not be tolerated in the military and offenders will be held accountable. Help your command and your shipmates develop a climate of dignity and respect.
