Women have served in uniform since this country\u2019s earliest days \u2026 but for far too long their issues have been unnoticed or ignored.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Thursday, the Brownley formally launched the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2019\/01\/23\/new-session-means-more-turnover-for-house-veterans-affairs-committee\/\" target=_blank>House Veterans\u2019 Affairs Committee\u2019s<\/a> new task force on women veterans, with the goal of \u201cadvancing equity in access to resources, benefits and healthcare\u201d for the group.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/commentary\/2019\/05\/01\/meet-the-women-helping-va-work-for-women-veterans\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/4257016.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Meet the women helping VA work for women veterans<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The VA has a long history of both serving women and putting them in a position to lead.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Women make up about 10 percent of the nation\u2019s veterans population, 17 percent of current military personnel and 30 percent of military service academy students. The number of women using VA health services has more than tripled over the last two decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Browley, the head of the bipartisan panel, and women from several veterans groups spoke Thursday about common, persistent problems they face within VA and from society at large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Past studies have shown one in four women veterans have faced harassment when visiting VA facilities, from both other patients and staff. Despite investment in more women-specific health care at the department, those veterans continue to face problems accessing care. Women who testified at the hearing said many of their peers have walked away from VA because they find it too unwelcoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe need action,\u201d said Ginger Miller, CEO of Women Veterans Interactive. \u201cWe don\u2019t need another national portrait campaign. We need national outreach and engagement. We don\u2019t need another male-dominated VSO to represent us at the table. We need to have a seat at the table, and if we can\u2019t, we will continue to build our own.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Patricia Hayes, chief consultant for women\u2019s health services at the Veterans Health Administration, said her department has made significant strides in recent years in improving services for women. That includes better gynecological and maternity services, and new training programs to monitor and curb harassment that women veterans may face.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2019\/05\/02\/defense-department-to-make-sexual-harassment-a-crime\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/4257016.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Defense Department to make sexual harassment a crime<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The move comes amid reports of a spike in sexual assaults in the ranks in recent years.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brownley acknowledged some improvements but told Hayes that \u201cwe need to have more tools that replicate urgency \u2026 Women continue to face sexism and inequity in a system that was originally built for men.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both Democrats and Republicans on the committee expressed support for the new task force, lauding it as a way to elevate and highlight the challenges facing women veterans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Committee staff they expect to see a similar effort in the Senate in coming weeks, and to begin advocating for specific legislative fixes to some of the inequities by this summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new House task force will look at the challenges facing women veterans at VA an in society at large.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":101816,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":19,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[101,23,93,12,25,67,19],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3226],"class_list":["post-60622","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-news-roundup","category-home","category-middle-column","category-news","category-newsletters","category-pentagon-congress","category-veterans"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"M7L73TY4FRDD5FMNTW6MWPOKKA","arc_canonical_url":"\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2019\/05\/02\/task-force-to-highlight-forgotten-and-invisible-women-veterans\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) -
