Publisher's Summary:

We're continuing documentary week with some of our favorites from the archives. Today we feature our award winning production from 2012 titled An "Occupational Hazard": Rape in the Military. One in three active-duty women serving the US military has reported being the victim of sexual assault, which is double the rate for civilians. Based on estimates from the Department of Defense, 19,000 servicemen and women were sexually assaulted in 2010 and most of those violent acts don't get reported because in the military, victims are required to report up their chain of command. Defending itself in civilian court in 2011, the Pentagon argued that sexual assault is an "occupational hazard" in the military. We'll hear from servicemen and women about their military sexual trauma, from advocates who help treat and raise awareness about the problem, and lawmakers about what is and isn't being done to change the culture that protects these sexual perpetrators.
