RESIGNS OVER ONGOING SEXUAL MISCONDUCT IN MILITARY

In her letter Taylor cites Operation HONOUR— the Armed Forces’ mission to prevent and address sexual misconduct—saying that while it appeared the military was moving in the right direction, “the failure of senior leadership to set the example on the operation has poisoned it.”

She’s now calling for the name of the operation to be dropped, calling it “harmful.”

In the letter Taylor said she considered remaining in uniform to try to “affect change from within,” but now she doesn’t think that’s possible.

“I have spent the past decade speaking publicly and passionately about the gains women have made in the CAF. While I remain fiercely proud of parts of our organization, on the issue of addressing harmful sexual behaviour, we have lost all credibility,” she writes.
