#BraveWomenServed Mission

Serve as an interactive educational platform to highlight the contributions of women in military service from past, present and future generations.

The initiative is inclusive of women who have served in all eras and all branches of the U.S. Military. But, why stop there?

Women all across the country serve our communities, lead businesses, and make a difference everyday— this expansive conversation will allow organizations to form inclusivity conversations and leverage millions of talented women through the power of mentorship, support, and storytelling.

#MarchMovement Vision

March celebrates Women History Month so our vision is to become the leading collaborative platform to allow women veterans to share women- centric or veteran focused resources or information while increasing community visibility, influencing the media views to help veteran coverage be more inclusive of women’s contributions and creating access to a wide array of veteran stories. This platform is tailored to discuss women veteran topics.

Goals.

Broaden media view of women in military service by sharing real and diverse stories.
Enhance all sectors of collaboration to expand inclusivity conversations and leverage millions of talented women through the power of mentorship, support, & storytelling
Raise Awareness by providing engaging conversations to educate and foster community engagement
Build a Network of empowerment to almost 2 million women veterans across the nation

Significance.

The total veteran population in the United States, Puerto Rico, and foreign territories as of September 2019 was over 19 million. Almost 2 million women veterans are represented in this number. Currently, women make up approximately 10% of veterans, according to U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) data. The VA’s population model forecasts that by 2045, the share of female veterans is expected to be over 18% nationwide. The number of female veterans is also projected to increase, from around 1.9 million today to 2.2 million in 2045.
