Military Sexual Trauma (MST) encompasses any form of sexual harassment, assault, or rape that occurs within a military setting or involves military personnel. This can include unwanted sexual touching, coercive sexual activities, or sexually explicit behavior that creates a hostile work environment.
Who can be affected?
Any military service member, regardless of gender, rank, or branch, can be affected by military sexual trauma. MST impacts individuals from all backgrounds and can have long-lasting effects on their personal and professional lives.
What support do you offer?
We provide comprehensive support for military sexual trauma survivors, including awareness campaigns that educate the public and military communities about MST. Our advocacy efforts aim to improve policies and support systems, and we also offer direct support services to help survivors in their recovery journeys.
How can I help?
You can assist by donating to support our ongoing programs, purchasing awareness merchandise to help spread the word, and by becoming an advocate for change in your community. Sharing information about MST and engaging in discussions can also help break the stigma and promote a better understanding of the issue.
