Yesterday the Ministry of Defence and the Equal Opportunities Commission signed an action plan to address sexual harassment in the armed forces. New research shows that 99% of service women - some 9,000 women - have been in situations in the last year where 'sexualised behaviours' had taken place. 15% of women reported having a 'particularly upsetting' experience. This is one of the most extensive pieces of research ever conducted into sexual harassment in the UK . So what is the MOD going to do about these appalling statistics?
