2019 Workplace and Gender Relations Survey of Reserve Component Members: Reports

The Department of Defense (DoD) remains committed to preventing and responding to sexual assault, sexual harassment, and sex discrimination within its ranks. Effective prevention and response efforts require a robust system of surveillance for monitoring the estimated prevalence and characteristics of these unwanted behaviors. The Workplace and Gender Relations (WGR) survey series fills this critical role. The 2019 Workplace and Gender Relations Survey of Reserve Component Members (2019 WGRR) provides key insights as to the estimated prevalence and characteristics of sexual assault, sexual harassment, and sex discrimination in the Reserve component, Service member attitudes and beliefs vis-à-vis these issues, and perceptions of unit climate. Note: Prior to 2025, OPA research products used the term “gender” to describe men and women. These groups were defined using survey items and/or administrative data categories for “male” and “female”; therefore, references to gender should be understood to mean “sex”.
