Australian Defence Force Sexual Misconduct Lawsuit Begins
Update: 2025-12-01
Description
A landmark class action lawsuit has been filed in Australia, alleging widespread sexual abuse, harassment, and discrimination within the Australian Defence Force. The lawsuit, led by four unnamed women, targets the commonwealth government and covers a period from 2003 to 2025. The case demands accountability and real change, with lawyers highlighting that the threat of sexual violence in the workplace is a greater fear than the threat of war for many female ADF personnel. Coinciding with the court hearing, the Australian government announced an inquiry into sexual misconduct within the ADF, focusing on barriers to reporting incidents, the process of following through with complaints, and the investigative powers of military police.
