Racism and sexism in the Army - Kerry-Ann's story

Available for over a year

Kerry-Ann Knight is a former soldier, who was once the face of a British Army recruitment campaign, but now she says she would 'never encourage a woman, especially a woman of colour, to join the Army'. She left in 2024 after being subjected to sexism and racist harassment. The British Army has admitted that she had to work in an unacceptable environment. In this episode of the 5 Minutes On podcast, the BBC's Defence Correspondent, Jonathan Beale, meets Kerry-Ann for her first interview since her case was resolved.
