GAO Report: Prior GAO Work on DOD's Actions to Prevent and Respond to Sexual Assault in the Military (April 9, 2012)
Category: Sexual Harassment/Assault/Trauma
In GAO-12-571R, GAO staff reported: 'While DOD strives to promote a culture free of sexual assault, these assaults still occur. Sexual assault victims may seek treatment at military treatment facilities (MTFs), where health care providers serve a critical role in addressing the physical and mental trauma experienced by a victim. GAO was asked to provide information about treatment for sexual assault victims at MTFs. In response to this request, GAO is providing information related to this topic based on prior work, including how cases of sexual assault are reported, documented, and investigated; how servicemembers are trained on sexual assault prevention and response; and the availability of health care for sexual assault victims.'
