On Wednesday, Ottawa’s Veterans Affairs Committee released a scathing report on how women are treated by the Canadian Armed Forces and Veterans Affairs..
The report found women in the armed forces were 2.5 times more likely to be survivors of sexual misconduct during their service than men.
Heidi Petracek speaks to women whose military careers were shattered by sexual assault about the accountability they say is missing.

When will we hold women accountable. Many women use their body in work places to advance.

Well said. Women use their body and sleep with high value men to advance

As one of the sexual assault survivors in the Canadian military it’s very real. Women had to be removed from submarines because of the gang rapes that were happening in the American military. Are you gonna tell them that it’s just a witch hunt and they didn’t get raped?

I remember during the pandemic when the Canadian military held propaganda exercises against it's own citizens headed by Lt.-Gen. Mike Rouleau..

Didn’t the Calgary police chief put a gag order on a female officer who claimed she was sexually harassed?

Yeah it happens to many women that don't like to talk about it either when you do you get further degraded or ignored as is explained.

Yes they do. There are men who are receiving compensation for being raped by other men in the military. These just happen to be women in the interview.

Do we think that the way the bar associations in our legal system dehumanizes traumatized people, could also be a mitigating factor? Google dealing with difficult clients,by Carole Curtis, to see how our judiciary and their insurers do just that? Maybe updating the strategies and evaluation techniques in the places traumatized people go for help is a more productive approach than this cycle of what appear to be superficial apologies and commitments to change? That’s not too woke, is it?
