Military Sexual Assault Victims: Know Your Rights

Know Your Rights is a comprehensive resource for both civilian and active-duty victims of military sexual violence, sexual harassment, and retaliation. It provides a clear overview of the guaranteed rights during the reporting process, investigation, court-martial and sentencing, and after the sentencing.

Every year, tens of thousands of men and women are raped, sexually assaulted, and sexually harassed by active duty servicemembers. Since 2011, Protect Our Defenders has been working hard to reform the military justice system to ensure that victims are protected from their assailants and from retaliation by their chain of command and fellow servicemembers.
