About this organization
Mission
Drive systemic institutional change in the US military by eliminating sexual assault, harassment and misogyny, discrimination, and retaliatory behavior towards victims (service members, family members, veterans and civilians) through public awareness, pro-bono legal services, research, policy reform and mentoring. Protect the rights and support the lives of survivors.
About
Legal services: The foundation's law center and pro-bono network of attorneys provides free legal services to survivors of sexual assault and harassment. It organizes and trains attorneys nationwide who volunteer to represent victims and advocate for their rights before, during and after military justice proceedings. The program staff provide casework assistance including: drafting FOIA requests to gain access to victims' military records, filing congressional or IG complaints regarding mishandling of cases, etc. The foundation files amicus briefs before the military's court of appeals to protect and enforce the rights of survivors. Military's special victim's counsel view the foundation as expert in this field and a resource. This program deepens our understanding of broken military justice system, which has led to meaningful policy reform.
