Bundeswehr research reveals widespread sexual harassment in the German military.
A broad study by the Bundeswehr revealed widespread sexual harassment in Germany's military, with 72% of female soldiers and 31% of male soldiers reporting verbal sexual harassment at least once during their service, according to a Deutsche Welle report. Young female soldiers were particularly vulnerable, as well as non-heterosexual male soldiers. The researchers found that only between one-third and one-sixth of the cases were officially reported.
