Prevalence and Characteristics of Intimate Partner-Related Sexual Violence in the Active Component: Findings From the 2021 Workplace and Gender Relations Survey of Military Members

Abstract

The Workplace and Gender Relations (WGR) surveys are Congressionally-mandated to solicit information about experiences of sexual harassment, gender discrimination, and unwanted sexual contact in the military (10 USC 481). In 2021, the WGR survey was also designed to estimate the prevalence of intimate partner-related sexual violence as a form of intimate partner violence (IPV), as recommended by the 2021 Independent Review Commission (IRC) on Sexual Assault in the Military. The purpose of this report is to summarize the prevalence and characteristics of intimate partner-related sexual violence in the military. To this end, we analyzed 2021 WGR data to estimate the past year prevalence rates of intimate partner-related unwanted sexual contact among military members as well as to explore the context and outcomes surrounding these experiences.
