Veterans Demand End to NDAs Silencing Sexual Assault Survivors
Update: 2025-12-01
Description
Veterans, including former Air Force chaplain Nikki Coleman, are advocating for the defense force to release individuals from non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) related to sexual assault and harassment. These agreements, which Coleman refused to sign due to their restrictive nature, are seen as damaging and coercive for victims. The Athena Project, which supports veteran survivors, argues that NDAs prioritize the defense forces reputation over victims healing. Many women remain silent due to fear and power imbalances, preventing them from seeking mental health help or medical care. Coleman and others are calling for the defense force to lift all historical NDAs, especially those from the 1980s and 1990s, to enable true reform.
