A grieving mother is calling on the United States Navy to make sweeping, long-term changes to the way it handles sexual assault cases — changes she says are long overdue following the death of her daughter.
The woman’s daughter, a sailor, was killed by a fellow shipmate, and her mother is now channeling that loss into a push for meaningful reform within the military branch.
She is demanding that the Navy take a hard look at its policies and make lasting adjustments to better protect service members from violence and sexual assault at the hands of their peers.
