This Government will always stand up for those who have served our country, and I am leading work across Government and with civil society to look at the best ways to ensure all veterans get access to the support and opportunities they need and deserve.

Women are a crucial part of the Armed Forces community, both through the value of their service and their contribution to society as veterans. We do not have any plans to commission a Women Veterans’ Strategy, however we will set out our plans in due course for all veterans in our updated Veterans’ Strategy, which will include a specific section on women.
