A female veteran has spoken for the first time about the misogyny, bullying and sexual assault she claimed she faced while serving in the Army.
Emma [not her real name], from West Wales, joined the Army at the age of 16. She has told ITV News, the military is “not a safe environment for women” and said due to the experiences she encountered, she would encourage others not to join.
It comes as a charity, Salute Her UK, representing female veterans from all three services in England and Wales says one in four women have been sexually assaulted whilst serving.
