Most do not believe the military has done enough to address the issue.
, which was released Sunday by the defense sub-committee on women in the armed forces, also found that 58 percent of women currently serving in the British military have experienced those same forms of abuse.
Additionally, the report found that there is a general lack of faith in the military's complaints system. Nearly 60 percent of women said they did not feel comfortable to report the bullying, harassment and discrimination they experienced, while many who did said the system was"extremely poor." Instead, the committee is urging authorities to hand cases of rape and sexual assault from military courts to the civilian court system. The committee is also calling for the creation of a new defense authority independent from the chain of command to look into allegations of bullying, harassment and discrimination.
64 percent of female veterans in the U.K. military have reported facing bullying, discrimination and harassment, according to a new report from the defense committee. Here, the national flag of the U.K. is displayed as British troops and service personal attend a Sunday service on November 9, 2014 in Kandahar, Afghanistan.
