Wright (right) speaks with Sr. Jose Women's Center Executive Director Jean Fedigan (second from right) and others about the unique needs of Arizona's Women Veterans, many of whom are struggling to make ends meet after returning home from their service to our country.

 

National Center for Women Veterans

The mission of the Center for Women Veterans is to ensure that:

  • Women veterans have access to VA benefits and services on par with male veterans.
  • VA programs are responsive to gender-specific needs of women veterans.
  • Outreach is performed to improve women veterans' awareness of services, benefits, and eligibility criteria.
  • Women veterans are treated with dignity and respect.
