As per my knowledge, every one soldier is a woman out of ten soldiers,which are deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Now those women soldiers are struggling against rape and sexual harassment.

The fellow soldiers and officers are sometimes making rape and sexual harassment to U.S. women soldiers.

Book writer Helen Benedict released book on Wednesday.The book describes male colleagues in the field are making the rape, molestation and sexual harassment.

Benedict told that the most frightening thing is that their own party people are wrongly behaving with them.

Women soldiers face more than just the "typical" horrors of war, they have to contend with harassment, assault, and sometimes rape -- from those in uniform. The military, many say, is unhelpful when women attempt to report their experiences.
