MoD’s action plan on sexual harassment

A new action plan to prevent and deal with sexual harassment in the Armed Forces has been agreed by the Ministry of Defence and the Equal Opportunities Commission (EOC) following research to clarify its extent. Extensive research carried out by independent consultants into the nature and extent of sexual harassment in the Armed Forces, including a survey of all Service women and a series of focus groups, was completed by the MOD as part of the first phase of an agreement with the EOC.
