Soldier wins sexual discrimination case

A female soldier has been awarded £12,000 in compensation for sexual discrimination by the Army. The woman did not win all of her allegations at an employment tribunal – 12 of the 43 allegations were upheld, and six were time barred. She had originally claimed £686,000. The successful claims involved insulting graffiti, cling film placed on women’s toilets, and the soldier’s face being put on a shooting target.
