Variables: EWCMS-DATA-3
For the required timeframe, 2020 to present, there are no publicly available data, reports, court-martial records, official case counts, or survivor testimonies showing how often rape/assault within the Royal Bhutan Army is prosecuted, dropped, or dismissed. Women’s formal participation in the Royal Bhutan Army appears to be recent, beginning with the first cohort of 150 women in 2021 and expanding to 436 women by 2023. Therefore, there is some potential for intra-military assault due to women’s presence in the force, but no public evidence was found on actual prosecutions involving soldiers raping or assaulting other soldiers, including female service members, during this timeframe (MR-CODER COMMENT).

For the required timeframe, 2020 to present, no data was found on prosecutions of intra-military rape or sexual assault within the Belarusian Armed Forces. No cases brought, dismissed, or dropped were identified in any source — governmental, NGO, journalistic, or scholarly. This absence directly follows from EWCMS-DATA-2: with no documented incidents of soldier-on-soldier sexual assault and near-total exclusion of women from the armed forces, there is no prosecutorial record to locate. Belarus maintains no published military justice statistics and no independent oversight body that would surface such cases even if they existed. This variable is best coded as little to no potential given current force composition (MR-CODER COMMENT).more
