Reports of sexual assault has increased by 10% since 2017. People have reported being sexually assaulted even in the military. However the pentagon states that the number of victims are reducing which is good. During these 10 years the government has made an improvement in the number of victims. The government sees it as even though the number of victims is decreasing doesn't mean their job is done. The Marine Corps saw sexual assaults increase by 14.7%. The military is now supporting that the victims of sexual assault come forward so other know they are not alone.
I think that this is good that the numbers are decreasing but it is still heartbreaking that people would force themselves sexually on an innocent person. This is an invasion of privacy by far and should have way more harsh consequences.
It’s strange to me how these instances haven’t attracted more attention. I hope that the number decreases.
ReplyDeleteI'm extremely surprised that it's such an issue within our military-our military, especially marines, considering our military's reputation and constant praise about honor, justice and equality and so on. It's shameful that this would happen within our country, especially our military.
