Military Sexual Assault Victims: Know Your Rights

A comprehensive resource to both active duty and civilian victims of military sexual violence, sexual harassment, and retaliation. Clear and comprehensive information about the rights afforded to the tens of thousands of victims – military and civilian – who are raped, sexually assaulted, and sexually harassed by active duty servicemembers each year.

“Since 2011, Protect Our Defenders has been working hard to reform the military justice system to ensure that victims are protected from their assailants and from retaliation by their chain of command and fellow servicemembers. Over the years, it has become apparent that victims – military and civilian – are not always informed of the rights that are afforded to them. Protect Our Defenders is launching Know Your Rights in order to provide a comprehensive resource to both active duty and civilian victims of military sexual violence, sexual harassment, and retaliation.”
