Hugely important and eye-opening report on the impact of the gay ban in the UK Armed Forces which was in place until the year 2000. Long-term effects on veterans' wellbeing are characterised in terms of #moralinjury & were found to cause isolation and difficulty accessing support

Sexual assault, crude banter — what it’s like to be a female surgeon. I am left with the terrible feeling that it will be impossible to make women feel adequately safe and protected from sexual, domestic, psychological, and physical abuse. ow.ly/6zqg50NFbt6
