The Australasian Services Care Network and its partners Forward Assist and Salute Her UK are extending an Invitation to join them for the “Virtual International Colloquium on Military Sexual and Other Forms of Abuse”.
This Colloquium brings together a range of international thought leaders to help participants to explore the issue of military sexual and other forms of abuse and its impact on military Service members, veterans and their immediate families across the 5 Eyes Countries.
The issue of military sexual and other forms of abuse is not exclusively directed at a particular gender, those of different sexual orientations or any other group within the military. It impacts people of all genders, orientations and backgrounds and for many, it has lifelong consequences. The aim of this conversation is to shine a light on the issue, to share what we know about it and evidence-informed responses and interventions, and support those affected by it.
In this presentation award winning international actor, writer, producer, and advocate for zero tolerance of military sexual abuse, Mary Jane Wells will tell stories from her work with Survivors of military sexual abuse to give them a voice to share their experiences. In view of informing and stimulating action to support survivors in their recovery and to address the issue of military sexual abuse.
