The Women of Honour group has urged anybody who was a victim of abuse in the Defence Forces to come forward and report it, following two high-profile court cases.

The group said that every person who comes forward helps empower others and takes a “significant step” in a greater campaign to tackle abuse in the army, navy, and air corps.
