Rape, Abuse, and a Culture of Misogyny in the Army's Teen College Recent allegations of rape and abuse at the Army Foundation College (AFC) in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, highlight the persistence of misogyny and sexism within the military.
Four young women who attended the college when they were 17 years old have shared their testimonies, painting a disturbing picture of an institution where female recruits are vulnerable to sexual assault and subjected to harassment and intimidation.
The Army claims to have introduced reforms, including the establishment of the Defence Serious Crime Command, but these efforts seem insufficient in light of the allegations.
