Fort Hood soldier's death sparks online outcry: 'The military hasn’t had their MeToo movement yet'
As an investigation into the death of Spc. Vanessa Guillén continues, service members and veterans take to social media to share stories of sexual assault and harassment in the U.S. military.
Guillén’s family, joined by friends and others in the Killeen, Texas, community, demanded justice and a thorough search for the missing soldier. Those efforts gained national, and even some international, attention in the past months. “The Army’s number one concern was about damage control to them versus helping Vanessa Guillén and helping her family,” Christensen said. “Vanessa’s family has said that she told them she was being sexually harassed, and [then] she’s murdered. … For the Army to say, ‘Well, there’s no credible evidence that she was sexually harassed’ is just the dismissive attitude that they show time and again when confronted with sexual harassment. ...

"Of women who reported a penetrative sexual assault, 59% were assaulted by someone with a higher rank than them, and 24% were assaulted by someone in their chain of command," the report said.
