Uniform Betrayal: 

Rape in the Military 


The hour-long film examines the problem of rape and sexual assault in the military from the viewpoint of the survivors as well as from experts who are studying this issue. Filmmakers Jennifer Molina and Sarah Pusateri traveled to the Pentagon to find out what the Department of Defense says it’s doing to combat what even they call “a very big problem.”

Baltimore Sun Interview with US Navy Veteran Brian Lewis


Military leaders are under pressure from The White House and Congress to eliminate rape in the military, 

but many do not realize the problem exists for both women and men 

in uniform. 

The rate for military sexual assaults is almost equal for 

both sexes in the service. 

A huge obstacle to prosecution is getting male victims to report assaults and cooperate in investigations.

Son, Men Don't Get Raped


A compilation of stories from American military men you never hear—because the culprits almost always go free, the survivors rarely speak, and no one in the military or Congress has done enough to stop it.

Looking for ideas on how YOU can be part of the solution?

You would like to help, but don't know how??

Here are some ideas:

  

  • Make MST Survivors feel included in events, programs, groups, and networking opportunities.


  • Acknowledge Veterans with MST are also injured Veterans.

 

  • Share some nuggets of information about Military Sexual Trauma during important dates (Gender-Based Violence Day or Victim of Crimes Day for example).
     
  • Take a stand when other Veterans or people are not being inclusive or hurtful by calling out social media comments that are not supportive or abusive.

 

  • Avoid message addressing only the "Band of brothers" or "combat injuries" when      addressing all Veterans.

  

  • If you are an advocate or a decision maker on matters related to Veterans and injured CAF members, know when it's time to include a Subject Matter Expert on MST.

 

  • Remembrance Day is a conflicting day for many MST Survivors. 

              When you do a Buddy Check, please include them even if they were never in combat.

  

  • Let other Veterans, serving CAF members and/or extended families know about the existence of our group, so they can access the resources they need for their own (or someone they care about) healing journey. 

 If your situation is an emergency, please CALL 911
