Announcing A New Informational Website on
U.S. Military Violence Against Women:

Providing information, analysis, and news about the history of U.S. military violence against girls and women in Okinawa and Japan, and in numerous other locations around the world. Other related concerns include:

* Sexual assault and violence against women within the U.S. armed forces; and

* Militarization and violence against women as an expression of colonialism, imperialism, and war.

The website is a collaborative project designed to deepen and broaden understandings of the relationships between U.S. militarism and foreign policy, imperialism, racism, and violence against girls and women. Organized by a team of faculty and students at California State University San Marcos, in collaboration with Colonel Ann Wright (retired), the project brings together information about United States military culture, historical narratives, stories of victimization, and analysis of the strategies used by Japanese activists to raise public awareness and prevent further crimes against girls and women.
