Dear Maryan, what you describe is terrible. This serious problem likely occurs in many countries and, due to a lack of reporting, goes unrecognized. Thank you for sharing it.
Great article. My heart goes out to her and I'm glad she has a supportive family.
I don't have much knowledge about the situation in the military, but I've experienced the anxiety of these survivors as partners up close in my relationships in the civilian world. It's way too common everywhere, but the military has a responsibility to take a zero tolerance attitude. I can't see that happening under the current regime.
I'm not a fan of our mass incarceration system, but these crimes are a major exception. We need to clear out minor drug offenders from prisons so that we can impose much longer penalties on sexual assault criminals. And men need to instill in their sons unshakable respect towards women.
A lot of young boys and early adult men are listening to misogynistic podcasts on the regular, too. We are developing a media culture that grooms this behavior. I don't see much counter programming to it, unfortunately.

You're welcome. It's a very important topic to keep in people's view.

Your comments always make sense and add a layer to the conversation. I'm in agreement here.
Thanks Maryan. Mad respect for everything you do.
I hope you have the most beautiful of holidays, my friend.
You, too! :-)
