In 2003 the Department of Defense (DOD) report found that one-third of women veterans who sought health care benefits from the Veterans Administration (VA) reported that they had experienced rape at some time during their service. Of the one-third who said they were raped, 37 percent of them said that they were raped multiple times and 14 percent claimed they were gang raped. In previous research compiled by the VA and DOD, 60 to 78 percent of active duty women were sexually harassed.
