BAME RESEARCH
The impact of sexual assault and military sexual trauma is particularly challenging for BAME victims in the UK armed forces. These individuals often face unique barriers in seeking and receiving support due to racism, cultural stigmas, language barriers, and a lack of culturally sensitive services. The intersectionality of their identities—being both victims of sexual assault and members of minority communities—compounds the challenges they face. It is essential to recognise these complexities and work towards inclusive and effective solutions that address the needs of BAME victims within the armed forces.
