South Korea's sexual assault problem

The New York Times has a lengthy article about the suicide of a woman in the South Korean Air Force who took her own life when superiors ignored her complaint about being sexually assaulted. The issues resonate with those the U.S. has been attempting to confront for years. Excerpt:

South Korean society has long understood the need to address widespread gender bias, but women in the armed forces are seen as particularly vulnerable. The country’s 550,000-member military is considered one of its most hierarchical, male-dominant and paternalistic institutions, and former soldiers say women are treated as playthings rather than colleagues.
