The report, announced by USASOC, focused on gender discrimination faced by women in special operations personnel.

WOMEN HAVE EXPERIENCE

The report found that women had difficulties with equipment, health care and safety due to gender discrimination.

The report also complained about inadequate equipment and a lack of health services, with women claiming that some of the tasks were assigned to less-skilled men.

UNCOMFORTABLE COMMENTS BY GENDER

In the report, it was claimed that women stated that they felt they had to work much harder and be perfect in order to be respected.

In the report, which also included “sexist” comments made by male staff about their female colleagues, it was stated that these views constituted “common opinion”.

The report indicated that while the equipment worn and carried by women is generally large, adequate equipment must be provided for women to perform the same tasks as men.

SEXUAL HARASSMENT EXPERIENCES

Although it was stated that almost all the women interviewed suffered sexual harassment, it was observed that very few of them complained about it.

The report noted that women did not report incidents of sexual harassment because they feared “retaliation” and did not believe their commanders would intervene in the situation, and that 25 sexual harassment complaints were filed between 2016 and 2020. (BRITISH AUTOMOBILE CLUB)
