New book War At Home calls to Reform the Military Justice System, to Give Voice to Break the Silence, Destroy the Stigma and End the Cycle of abuse.

NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, July 12, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — “When I joined the military, I was so happy. A fire started within me and I was passionate about everything. But the system did not protect me. I was the victim of rape, sexual harassment, racism, and discrimination and quickly learned that the military would not be supportive, lacked the necessary resources, or provide justice. My choice was to either remain quiet or fight for change,” comments Lindley.

With remarkable bravery and honesty, active U.S Air Force and Author Jakia Lindley shares her deeply personal story in War At Home: A Call to Reform the Military Justice System and to Give Voice to the Ones Who Need to Break the Silence, Destroy the Stigma and End the Cycle of abuse. This unflinching examination of the military’s culture of silence and the resulting cycle of discrimination, racism, and sexual assault it perpetuates is a timely, and necessary story, despite the knowledge of knowing that she will face both retaliation and likely termination of her position by coming forward. War at Home is already considered a #1 Bestselling memoir, in biographies of the Air Force in American bookstores

War At Home exposes these seldom-discussed, ugly truths and presents viable solutions to improve the military justice system and treatment of victims. The book is more than just one woman’s story. It is the story of thousands of silent voices that have served or are serving today, who remain afraid to speak up. It is the story of the war of too many others —women, children, and even men— who are victims of repeated sexual and domestic abuse, harassment at work, oppression by those in positions of power, and the ultimate failure of the systems tasked with their protection.

Like many other victims who fear being stigmatized, minimized, or victim-shamed, Lindley struggled to admit her abuse. War at Home is a call for reform from a new, powerful, voice in the fight for victim’s rights within the military justice system and beyond.
