A RESOLUTION urging the legislative council to assign
the Military and Veterans Affairs Commission the study of the
needs of returning women veterans.
Whereas, Women make up approximately 11 percent of the
total military force deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan;
Whereas, Many of these women veterans face an even
tougher battle than men when they return home;
Whereas, Female veterans often face lower pay and more
homelessness and have fewer services available to them than
their male counterparts; and
Whereas, These brave and courageous veterans served
their country faithfully and now deserve all the benefits that we
can provide: Therefore,
SECTION 1. That the legislative council is urged to assign the Military and Veterans Affairs Commission the study of the needs of returning women veterans.
