A new study will help the Army better understand the most common circumstances under which soldiers face sexual harassment or gender discrimination, and allow the service to pinpoint response and prevention efforts, said officials. The Rand Arroyo Center report, Sexual Harassment and Gender Discrimination in the Active-Component Army: Variation in Most Serious Event Characteristics by Gender and Installation Risk, was commissioned by the Army in 2020. RAND used data from the most recent (2018) Workplace and Gender Relations Survey of Active Duty Service Members (WGRA). The WGRA is the Department of Defense’s official survey to estimate prevalence of sexual assault and sexual harassment in the military. This effort is an example of the Army’s enduring commitment to better understand the characteristics of these harmful behaviors.
