Empowering women veterans

At DAV, we are committed to empowering women veterans and providing them with the support and resources they need to thrive in their post-military lives.

In 2024, DAV released the special report Women Veterans: The Journey to Mental Wellness, which serves as a comprehensive assessment of the unique mental health challenges women veterans face, as well the existing gaps in gender-tailored care and suicide prevention. DAV’s previous reports—the 2014 landmark report Women Veterans: The Long Journey Home and the 2018 follow-up Women Veterans: The Journey Ahead—continue to be valuable resources that have helped usher in numerous policy and legislative changes to improve programs and services for women veterans.
