VFW Women Veterans Visit Capitol Hill
RE: http://www.vfw.org/women-veterans.

VFW Women Veterans Visit Capitol Hill:

This week, four VFW past Department commanders who are women veterans traveled to Washington, D.C. During their visit they worked on legislative issues pertaining to female veterans, primarily focusing on preventive medicine within the Department of Veterans Affairs, military sexual trauma and homelessness. Meetings were held with leadership from Congress, the Department of Labor’s Veteran Employment and Training Service and Department of Defense’s Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office. The focus of these meetings came as the result of a survey of women veterans the committee put together and analyzed in January 2015. With over 1,900 respondents, they were able to categorize where legislation is most needed for the female veteran community –– health care, outreach, recognition and homelessness. For more information on what the VFW is doing for female veterans, please visit: http://www.vfw.org/women-veterans.
