Expressing the sense of the Congress regarding the elimination of sexual harassment and sexual assault in the Armed Forces.

Summary

Expresses the sense of the Congress that the Secretaries of the military departments should: (1) collect data on the number and disposition of sexual harassment and assault cases involving members of the armed forces; (2) ensure that crisis intervention and long-term counseling are available to the victims; (3) develop ongoing programs to educate members of the armed forces regarding the unacceptability and illegality of sexual harassment and assault and the sanctions imposed on violators; (4) implement an educational program for all members dealing with the prevention and risk reduction of sexual harassment and assault; (5) publicize their commitment against sexual harassment and assault by posting appropriate signs with phone numbers for victims to report incidents and obtain assistance; (6) reevaluate their existing methods of investigating and processing sexual harassment and assault complaints and consider alternative methods to provide effective enforcement; (7) reevaluate their existing sanctions to determine whether the sanctions serve as an effective deterrent; (8) determine whether adequate protections exist to ensure that members who report sexual harassment or assault do not experience retaliation and, if not, develop effective protections; and (9) protect members who report sexual harassment or assault against retaliation once a complaint is made and ensure that a subsequent investigation into the complainant's sexual orientation is not performed.
