Countries: Bosnia-Herzegovina
Variables: EWCMS-DATA-2
There is little to no publicly documented current evidence from 2020 to present showing that rape or sexual assault within the Armed Forces of Bosnia-Herzegovina is common. There were no case reports, victim testimonies, prevalence rates, or official statistics for soldier-on-soldier rape/sexual assault. However, NATO and Bosnian Ministry of Defence sources show that sexual harassment and sexual exploitation/abuse are considered 'risks' within the defence system, with training, reporting channels, Inspector General oversight, military police cooperation with prosecutors, and anonymous reporting mechanisms. However, it is important to keep in mind that the lack of public cases should be treated as little documented evidence, not proof that incidents never occur (MR-CODER COMMENT).more

Variables: EWCMS-DATA-2
For the required timeframe, 2020 to present, there are no publicly available data, reports, survivor testimonies, or estimates of unreported rape/assault within the Royal Bhutan Army that shows the commonality of rape/assault within the military (soldiers raping other soldiers from their own or friendly countries). Women’s formal participation in the Royal Bhutan Army appears to be recent, beginning with the first cohort of 150 women in 2021 and expanding to 436 women by 2023. Therefore, there is some potential for intra-military assault due to women’s presence in the force, but no public evidence was found on how common such rape/assault is, rates of reports, or estimates of underreporting (MR-CODER COMMENT).more

"A rather degrading sex scandal has unfortunately thrust the Beninese army into the spotlight. It involves an uncontrolled sexual encounter between a high-ranking soldier and a married woman.

In fact, she was serving under the command of the soldier identified as the perpetrator of the harassment at the time of the incident. This is therefore a case of sexual abuse between a superior officer and his subordinate within the army. The female soldier accuses her superior of sexually harassing her before forcing...more

The potential for this variable is structurally limited: women are formally excluded from combat roles and the Military Academy, meaning mixed-gender intra-military contact is negligible. The post-Soviet hazing tradition of *dedovshchina* — documented to include sexual humiliation and assault in Russian and other post-Soviet forces — is the most plausible vector for intra-military sexual violence in Belarus, but no Belarus-specific incidents have been publicly documented in this period.
