Ashley Merryman on the ‘Dangerous’ Cycle of Pentagon Sexual Harassment Policy

Ashley Merryman on the ‘Dangerous’ Cycle of Pentagon Sexual Harassment Policy

April is Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention month. It’s a time—recognized by civilian and U.S. military communities—intended to promote the prevention of sexual violence, especially in U.S. armed forces. In light of Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention month, Lawfare Associate Editor Katherine Pompilio sat down with author and attorney Ashley Merryman, who previously served at the Pentagon as Special Advisor for the Department of the Navy’s Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office. They discussed the prevalence of sexual assault and harassment at U.S. military academies, the dangerous shortcomings of the Pentagon's “lowest level” policy to address sexual harassment, how the policy came to be and why it persists, and policy recommendations for the future.

Listener discretion is advised. This episode contains discussion of sexual harassment and assault.
