In New Brunswick, New Jersey, a new treatment facility is scheduled to support female veterans who are victims of sexual assaults. Veterans Administration officials disclosed that sexual assault and harassment cases of female soldiers have increased overtime. The new center will offer treatment to military women who suffer “military sexual trauma.”
The said treatment center is expected to open this coming December. It will be the first of its kind – a residential Veteran Administration center which concentrates on such sexual cases. The establishment of the facility is based on the findings that 20% of female soldiers leaving the military experienced sexual trauma during their service, especially those who served overseas.
