Mandatory Reporting on Targeted Sexual Assault and Discrimination in Military Surveys.

This law requires the Armed Forces to collect more detailed information in surveys concerning sexual assault incidents. The new rules mandate reporting indicators suggesting the victim was targeted or discriminated against based on their real or perceived sexual orientation or group status. This change aims to improve understanding and combat targeted sexual violence and discrimination within the military, enhancing service member safety.
Key points
Military sexual assault surveys must now include specific data points on whether the assault was motivated by the victim's sexual orientation or group status.
The goal is to better identify and address instances of sexual assault linked to discrimination within the ranks of the Armed Forces.
