National Women Veterans Day is observed on June 12. This day recognizes and honors the service and sacrifices of women veterans. Even though women have served in the U.S. military since the Revolutionary War, their contributions have often overlooked or undervalued. National Women Veterans Day seeks to correct this by highlighting the important role that women have played in defending the country and protecting its freedoms. It also aims to raise awareness of the unique challenges that women veterans face, such as gender discrimination, sexual harassment, and lack of access to female-oriented resources. By recognizing the sacrifices and achievements of women veterans, National Women Veterans Day honors their service and inspires future generations of women to pursue careers in the military and to advocate for gender equality in all aspects of society.
