Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Nearly three-quarters of female cadets at Australia's military training academy have been sexually harassed, a government report says.
Conditions have improved, says the Australian Human Rights Commission report, but the review found the culture at the Australian Defence Force Academy still was far from ideal, with 74 per cent of female cadets reporting sexual or gender-based harassment.
The Defence Minister, Stephen Smith, ordered the review after a female cadet was secretly filmed having sex with a colleague. The clip was then posted online. Another report found predatory sexual behaviour and intimidation, after claims that sailors on HMAS Success had a contest to see who could have sex with the most female shipmates.
