SUPPORT OUR WOMEN VETERANS

There are approximately 2 million female veterans in the United States, representing about 10% of the total veteran population. This number has been steadily increasing over the years due to the growing participation of women in the military. Female veterans often face unique challenges, including access to healthcare, mental health support, and employment opportunities.

The Department of Veterans Affairs has been actively working to address these issues and improve services tailored specifically for women. Additionally, organizations dedicated to supporting female veterans have emerged, Such as USDV offering resources and community support to help them transition successfully into civilian life.
