"Similar to previous so-called reforms, these policy changes do little to address the fundamental barriers to justice: commander discretion and a military justice system that stacks the deck against the victim." Ms. Nancy Parrish, President Protect Our Defenders
Huff Post EDITORIAL: Protect Our Defenders Unspins DoD Military Sexual Assault Report
"This year's SAPRO report revealed that of the 2,410 reports of sexual assault, 191 -- 8% -- resulted in a court-martial conviction. This sobering fact goes a long way toward explaining why so few victims decide to report. It is evidence of the utter failure to protect the victim and effectively prosecute the perpetrator."
Protect Our Defenders Honorary Chair Congresswoman Jackie Speier with Kori, veteran and a subject of The Invisible War, and Nancy Parrish at the Sundance Film Festival 2012.
