In honor of International Women's Day, VA's Center for Women Veterans (CWV) collaborated with the Library of Congress Veterans History Project (VHP) for the “I Am Not Invisible 3.0” panel discussion and oral history donation.
The I Am Not Invisible campaign brings awareness to the barriers and challenges that women Veterans face in obtaining health care and other services.
Just 20 years ago, VA served a little more than 150,000 women Veterans. This was before 9/11, an event that prompted so many American men and women to enlist and defend their country. Today, VA is serving more than 740,000 women Veterans.
Benita Swinners suffers from PTSD and is a survivor of military sexual trauma. Today, she has come to point in her life, thanks to VA, where she can talk about it. Here is her brave, candid story.
More than 90 Gulf Coast women Veterans who are also VA employees participated in a recent virtual photo exhibit recognizing their military service contributions.
Laura B. Vela and Lilia A. Garcia were among the 30 Texan Women Veterans featured in the “I Am Not Invisible” campaign.
