Brigadier Nicky Moffat: "It's about speaking out"

Leaders in the forces need to speak out more loudly against sexual harassment, the former most senior female officer in the army has told the Today programme.

Brigadier Nicky Moffat said the military must "redouble its efforts" to ensure that bullying and unwelcome sexual advances are eliminated.

"It's about speaking out and it's about making sure that your voice is heard and understood, and if you get that message down the line and it goes throughout the DNA of the organisation," said Brig Moffat, who served in the British forces for 27 years before retiring in 2012.

"That's when you start to get the culture right."
