Did you experience any unwanted sexual attention, uninvited sexual advances, or forced sex while in the military? Does this experience continue to affect your life today?

Both women and men can experience sexual harassment or sexual assault during their military service. VA to these experiences as military sexual trauma, or MST. One in five female Veterans and 1 in 100 male Veterans have told their VA healthcare provider that they experienced MST.

MST also occurs any time the survivor isn’t able to give consent, such as while intoxicated or drugged, or when they are pressured into giving consent in exchange for promises of favorable duties or promotion, or threats of harm to their career. The perpetrator needs to be in the military for it to be considered MST.

Like other types of trauma, MST can negatively impact a person’s mental and physical health, even many years later.

Some problems associated with MST include:

• Disturbing memories or nightmares
• Feelings of depression or numbness
• Problems with alcohol or drugs
• Feeling isolated from other people
• Problems with anger or irritability
• Problems with sleep
• Physical health problems
• Avoidance or fear of medical exams or procedures
