​

At some point changes are going to need to be made, but we have to all push for it, all organizations, there is a wide variety of options the U.S Military has not acted on to help Enlisted & The Veteran Affairs needs to establish a better mission to provide resources properly to all those in need of support, emotional, mental, physical protection from abusers, victim witness programs need to be established, raising awareness that 99.9% of assaults reported, Victims are failed by command for active duty & swept under the rug. There are so many civilian ran organizations that can ease the amount of case reports that need assistance for many reasons with and for victims & or their families who are struggling to get help & support by a trustful entity. Operation Shell Shock P.T.S.D. Awareness & Sexual Assault Prevention & Support Program have voiced these concerns for many years.

What ever your story is no matter how horrible things are, no matter how long you have had to wait, no matter how many people don't take you seriously, keep pushing, keep reporting, go up the chain of commands, keep making noise until YOU, have JUSTICE. At the end of the day, YOU are important, NOT your offender. If it gets very bad, make a report to your local law enforcement agency, if they don't take a report, call state police, if they don't listen call the FBI, your local news stations, newspaper journalists, go to your local emergency room to report the abuse, sexual harassment, sexual assault, stalking, in any form, in person, by internet, leaving things near or in front of your home, work, school, job. You have legal rights, it is illegal for law enforcement agencies to deny to protect & serve you.
