> FINALLY, I'd like to invite you all to come to a screening of the new
> documentary *The Invisible War* hosted by Central Illinois Iraq Veterans
> Against the War, Central Illinois Civillian-Soldier Alliance, and the
> Women's Resource Center.
>
> [image: Inline image 1]
>
>
> Today, a female soldier in Iraq and Afghanistan is more likely to be raped
> by a fellow soldier than killed by enemy fire. Sexual assault within the
> ranks is so frequent that one in three female service members are
> raped while in the military. These crimes are routinely covered up by the
> chain of command, with higher-ranking officers granted virtual impunity for
> assaulting junior service members.
>
> As part of National Sexual Assault Awareness Month, Central Illinois Iraq
> Veterans Against the War and Civillian-Soldier Alliance, in
> conjunction with the University of Illinois Women's Resource Center will be
> screening The Invisible War, a documentary on the that examines the
> epidemic levels of sexual assault in the military which debuted this
> January at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival. Focusing on the powerfully
> emotional stories of multiple rape victims, The Invisible War is a moving
> indictment of the systemic cover-up of military sex crimes, chronicling the
> women’s struggles to rebuild their lives and fight for justice. It also
> features hard-hitting interviews with high-ranking military officials and
> members of Congress that reveal the perfect storm of conditions that exist
> for rape in the military, its long-hidden history, and what can be done to
> bring about much-needed change.
>
> The screening will be followed by a discussion of what we can do to end
> sexual assault in the military and in our communities. The event is free
> and open to the public.
>
> The event is co-sponsored by: College of Law, University of Illinois
> Veteran's Affairs, Counseling Center, American Association of University
> Women—Champaign Chapter, Channing-Murray Foundation, Sexual Health Peers
> (SHP), National Organization for Women (UIUC), Gender and Women's Studies,
> Department of Psychology, Rape Advocacy Counseling and Education Services
> (RACES), and Men Against Sexual Violence.
