The Department of Defense (DoD) continues to emphasize sexual assault and sexual harassment
response and prevention in the military. This survey note discusses findings from the 2012 Workplace
and Gender Relations Survey of Active Duty Members (2012 WGRA), a source of information for
evaluating these programs and for assessing the gender-relations environment in the active duty force.
The 2012 WGRA is the fifth active duty survey on gender-relations issues (the survey has been
administered in 1995, 2002, 2006, 2010) as mandated by U.S. Code Title 10. This survey assesses the
prevalence of sexual assault and sexual harassment in the active duty force.
