性被害で特別防衛監察　元自衛官訴え受け、全隊員調査―防衛省

　浜田靖一防衛相は６日の記者会見で、元陸上自衛官の女性が訓練中に性被害に遭ったと訴えたことなどを受け、全自衛隊員を対象としたハラスメントに関する特別防衛監察を実施すると発表した。浜田氏は「ハラスメントは基本的人権の侵害であり、決してあってはならないことだ」と述べ、対策に全力を挙げる考えを示した。
　特別防衛監察は、防衛相直属の防衛監察本部が独立した立場で不正行為などの調査に当たるもので、陸自の南スーダン国連平和維持活動（ＰＫＯ）の日報問題以来５年ぶりの実施となる。（2022/09/06-18:20）

Japanese Defense Minister Yasukazu Hamada said Tuesday that he has ordered a special probe covering the entire Self-Defense Forces in response to sexual assault allegations.
   The special defense inspection will be conducted after former Ground SDF member Rina Gonoi, 22, sought a third-party reinvestigation into alleged sexual assault by then colleagues last year.
   "Harassment is a violation of basic human rights and must not happen," Hamada told a news conference.
   Gonoi visited the Defense Ministry on Wednesday to submit a petition for the reinvestigation signed by over 100,000 people.
   In August last year, Gonoi took a leave from work at a GSDF camp in Koriyama, Fukushima Prefecture, northeastern Japan, after three male GSDF colleagues senior to her allegedly pressed the lower part of their bodies against her.
