Too important to ignore….. Did you know………?

25 % of women will be sexually assaulted on a college campus.

12 % of women will be raped while in college.

66 % of women in the military REPORT sexual assault

27 % of women are REPORTED raped in the military

BUT……

Sexual assault remains a pervasive problem for women in the military, including those currently deployed overseas. The military's hierarchy is ill-equipped and unwilling to deal fairly with rape complaints.

AND what are they doing about it currently……………?

According to the Department of Defense's own statistics 74-85% of soldiers convicted of rape or sexual assault leave the military with honorable discharges (meaning the rape conviction does not appear on their record!). Only 2-3% of soldiers accused of rape are ever court marshaled. And only 5-6% of soldiers accused of domestic abused are ever court marshaled. In fact several multiple homicides have recently taken place on military bases that have not even been criminally prosecuted!

Department of Defense's definition of Morale Booster, for male soldiers:

FEMALE SOLDIERS

Take as needed, dispose when finished and continue serving with 'honor'

Please remember………… Many suffer in silent shame. Never forget.

Good morning, my friend.
It has been some time since I have had time to be on the web site, but today I found a moment or two, so I am sending you this greeting. Hope that your day is a wonderful one and that the sun shines where you are.

Love and peace,
Whisperette
