New York initiates a survey aimed at tackling distinctive issues experienced by female war veterans.
The New York State Division of Veteran Services, in partnership with the New York Women Veterans Advisory Committee, has launched a survey aimed at understanding and addressing the unique challenges faced by female veterans. This initiative is a significant step towards supporting and assisting women who have served in the military.
The survey, open to any female veteran in New York, is designed to collect data on diverse needs and barriers experienced by women veterans in key areas such as employment, housing, mental health, and education. With its straightforward questions, the survey takes less than two minutes to complete, ensuring it is accessible and easy for all to participate.
Dr. Lessie Branch, Special Assistant for Community Engagement, emphasized the importance of hearing from female veterans in their own voices. She stated, "This survey is not about telling communities what they need. Instead, it's about empowering women who have served to engage, express, and share their needs."
The survey does not rely on assumptions or generalizations about the needs of women veterans. Instead, it is framed in a way that is applicable to anyone, ensuring that the responses are honest and accurate. The survey will remain open until the end of the year, providing ample opportunity for female veterans across the state to participate and make their voices heard.
The data collected from this survey will be instrumental in identifying service gaps and challenges faced by female veterans in critical areas like employment, housing, mental health, and education. The insights gained will help inform policies and allocate resources more effectively to support female veterans in New York.
